Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Morten Hübbe has informed the Supervisory Boards of Tryg A/S and Tryg Forsikring A/S that he wishes to step down after 20 years on Tryg's Executive Board. Expansion of the Executive Board in Tryg A/S and Tryg Forsikring A/S With a view to ensure the right mix of competences in the Executive Board going forward, the Company has also announced the appointment of two new members by 1 March 2023. Mikael Kärrsten has been appointed Chief Technical Officer and Alexandra Bastkær Winther has been appointed Chief Commercial Officer, both internal promotions.

Mikael Kärrsten (47) has more than 20 years of experience from the insurance industry and comes from a position as Head of Group PPU (Price, Product, Portfolio Management and Underwriting) in Tryg. He has previously held several senior leadership positions with Codan and Trygg-Hansa, including Head of Underwriting. Mikael has been one of the main architects behind Trygg-Hansa's incredibly well-run and profitable business - and he knows the Swedish insurance market better than most.

A market which now accounts for up to 45% of the Group's technical result. In addition, Mikael possesses a deep technical understanding of insurance, which is based on a data and insight driven approach. Alexandra Bastkær Winther (37) comes from a position as CEO of Alka Insurance (stand-alone entity within the Tryg group).

She has been with Tryg since 2020 where she, prior to her appointment to Alka, as head of Group Strategy and M&A played a key role in the historical acquisition of RSA's Scandinavian activities (Trygg-Hansa and Codan Norway). As Chief Commercial Officer, Alexandra will take over Johan Kirstein Brammer's current areas of responsibilities, which covers enhancement of commercial value creation across the Group, the integration and realisation of synergies from acquisitions as well as the corporate strategy function. According to Morten Hübbe, the appointment of the two new executives will add valuable skills to the highly successful Executive Board that represents years of value creation and continuity.
