Announcement No. 11/2016
Kim Bruhn-Petersen, Topdanmark’s COO of non-life insurance, will be 60 in April
2016 and has announced that he wants to resign. Consequently, it has been
agreed with Kim Bruhn-Petersen that he resigns as COO on 1 March 2016, but will
continue in the Group until 30 June 2016. On 1 March, Marianne Wier and Brian
Rothemejer Jacobsen will join Topdanmark’s Executive Board.
Since 2013, Marianne Wier, who is 52 years old and a lawyer, has been Director
of Topdanmark’s claims handling. Previously, Marianne Wier has held executive
positions in, among other businesses, the IT industry with Damgaard, Navision
and Microsoft. Marianne Wier’s managerial responsibilities will be claims
handling, project processes and IT. Additionally, Marianne Wier will be
responsible for Topdanmark’s digital development.
Since 2009, Brian Rothemejer Jacobsen, who is 52 years old and holds an MBA
from Henley, has been CEO of Topdanmark Livsforsikring (Topdanmark’s life
insurance company). Brian Rothemejer Jacobsen’s managerial responsibilities
will be the non-life insurance business areas (Personal, Partners, SME &
Industrial and Agricultural), Life Insurance and Marketing.
Besides Marianne Wier and Brian Rothemejer Jacobsen, the Executive Board will
continue to comprise Christian Sagild, CEO, and Lars Thykier, CFO.
“This is the right time for me to leave Topdanmark. I’ve been in the Group for
27 years, and the most recent 10 years on the Executive Board. I have had many
really good and exciting years in Topdanmark together with my employees and
colleagues. In the COO job function, the business must be carried on, and
regular renewal is necessary. In my opinion, it is getting more and more
challenging to add something new to Topdanmark, and therefore, I believe that
introducing new people on the Executive Board is the right thing to do”, says
Kim Bruhn-Petersen.
“I want to thank Kim Bruhn-Petersen for his great and valuable efforts for
Topdanmark during 27 years. I respect Kim Bruhn Petersen’s decision to leave
Topdanmark. Over the years, he has ensured disciplined insurance operations
which have generated good technical results and helped making Topdanmark more
customer-oriented,” says Søren Thorup Sørensen, Chairman of Topdanmark’s Board
of Directors.
Christian Sagild, CEO of Topdanmark, adds: “I welcome Marianne Wier and Brian
Rothemejer Jacobsen on the Executive Board. Both of them have the
qualifications needed to continue Topdanmark’s focused strategy to improve its
position in the Danish insurance market.
