Jörg Schneider (Manager)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jörg Schneider (born September 29, 1958 in Duisburg ) is a German insurance manager and was Chief Financial Officer member of the board of the DAX group Munich Reinsurance Company between 2000 and 2018 .

Career

Schneider studied business administration at the vocational academy in Stuttgart , together with part-time training at Daimler-Benz . He also studied law at the University of Tübingen and received his doctorate there.

Schneider began his career in 1988 at Munich Re in the finance department. In 1993 he became head of the equity holdings division and from 1997 headed the corporate finance division. At times he sat as a representative of the executive staff on the company's supervisory board .

From 2000, Schneider was a member of Munich Re's Board of Management as CFO. On the part of the reinsurer, he was responsible for the dissolution of the so-called Deutschland AG , in which he successively reduced the reinsurer's large company holdings. This included, in particular, the traditional connection with Allianz insurance , in which, in addition to mutual capital participation, historical reinsurance agreements were also terminated. He also steered the DAX group through the stock market crashes as a result of the burst dot-com bubble at the beginning of the millennium and the global financial crisis in 2007, in which the operating results were negatively impacted, not least due to high depreciation. After 18 years, Schneider left the Board of Management of Munich Re in 2018. He was the longest-serving CFO of a DAX group. His successor was Christoph Jurecka .

Schneider has been a member of the BayernLB Supervisory Board since June 2019 .

Schneider is married and has two children.
