The Insurance Development Forum (IDF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Ivo Menzinger, (below) Managing Director of Public Sector Business at Swiss Re, as Chair of its Operating Committee (OpCo).
Ivo succeeds Rowan Douglas CBE, CEO of Climate Risk & Resilience at Howden, who led the creation of the IDF between 2012-2015, and served as OpCo Chair since the IDF’s launch at the Paris Climate Summit in 2015. For over a decade Rowan has played a pivotal role in establishing the IDF as a respected international institution delivering resilience to climate and disaster risks.
Ivo Menzinger brings a wealth of leadership experience in the public-private partnership (PPP) space, particularly in disaster risk management and insurance, to the role of Chair. His previous tenure as Deputy Chair of the IDF OpCo, Founder and Co-Chair of the IDF Sovereign and Humanitarian Working Group for nearly a decade has provided him with deep insight into the IDF’s core mission.
As the IDF enters its 10th year, Ivo’s leadership will focus on catalysing the momentum needed to scale climate and disaster resilience solutions, addressing the urgent need for collaboration across sectors to provoke meaningful change for vulnerable communities and with a focus on accelerating implementation efforts.
