Following Christoph Nuetzenadel’s retirement announcement in January 2021, the consultancy has appointed two new leaders, finews.asia can reveal.
Since opening its first office in Switzerland in 1996, Synpulse has seen rapid growth, especially in recent years. Appointing two new CEOs covering the Western and Eastern hemispheres – with effect since 1 February 2021 – is a solution that will benefit both clients and employees around the globe, the firm said Friday.
Yves Roesti (pictured above right) who is currently responsible for Synpulse’s consulting business in Asia started his career at Synpulse in 2006. Since his relocation to Singapore in 2008, he has led the Asian consulting team to impressive growth, not only in Singapore, but also across five other key markets: Hong Kong, the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, and India.
Digital Roadmaps
In 2015 he was appointed partner. His particular focus has been promoting banking operating model transformations and digital roadmaps.
Konrad Niggli (pictured above left) joined Synpulse as a consultant and became a partner in the area of reinsurance in 2011. He currently heads the global reinsurance practice, focusing on digital reinsurance operations.
Ongoing Digitalization
He also led the company’s U.S. practice in New York from 2014 to 2017. Niggli has many years of experience in client centricity and underwriting processes in commercial primary insurance and reinsurance. His work revolves around ongoing digitalization and smart automation in reinsurance.
In addition to its head office in Zurich, Synpulse is present worldwide, with offices in locations including Geneva, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Bratislava, Vienna, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, New York, London, and Hyderabad.
