He will also oversee the ѳܱپԲپDzԲbusiness of ǿմý Commercial, led by Guy Money. The ǿմý Commercial Distribution team under Global Head of Distribution, Jeremy Sharpe, will now report to ǿմý Commercial CEO Joachim Mueller.

Joachim Mueller, CEO ǿմý Commercial, comments: “This change reflects the evolution of our business and the equal importance of the MidCorp business alongside LargeCorp and Specialty in ǿմý Commercial. Dirk brings an unusual combination of experience to this position, including extensive MidCorp expertise. I want to thank Henning for the leading role he has played over many years at ǿմý, and especially since joining the Board of Management in 2020 at the start of the NEW AGCS program. He has been a strong contributor to AGCS’s successful turnaround, and we all wish him well in his next professional steps.”
