Two experienced insurance experts, Bertrand Wilhelm and David Chaillet, have left their roles at Swiss Re to start their own company. The new firm, called Rift Partners, will specialize in giving advice to insurance and reinsurance businesses.
Wilhelm and Chaillet worked at Swiss Re for many years. Swiss Re is one of the world’s biggest reinsurance companies. Reinsurance helps insurance companies manage their risks by sharing them with other firms. Both men have deep knowledge of the industry. Their new company, Rift Partners, will focus on helping clients with mergers, investments, and other strategic decisions.
The insurance market is changing quickly. Climate risks, new regulations, and technology are creating challenges. Many companies need expert advice to navigate these changes. Rift Partners aims to fill this gap. The founders say their experience at Swiss Re will help them provide high-quality guidance.
Starting a new firm is a big step, but Wilhelm and Chaillet believe there is a strong demand for independent advice. They plan to work closely with clients to find the best solutions. The company will be based in Zurich, Switzerland, a major hub for the insurance industry.
The launch of Rift Partners is an exciting development in the insurance world. With experienced leaders and a clear focus, the firm could become a key player in the market. Clients looking for expert advice may soon turn to Rift Partners for help.
