msg global solutions Appoints New Board Member
(Regensdorf, Switzerland) May 1, 2019 — 
Peter Hugger joined msg global solutions as a new Board Member responsible for the LAC (Latin American and the Caribbean) Region as of May 1.
"Our focus on the Americas has started to pay dividends. We have seen significant license revenue growth and increased engagement with SAP. To leverage our momentum effectively, we decided to split the Americas into two regions with Christoph Papenfuss in charge of North America including the USA and Canada and Peter Hugger responsible for the LAC region,” says Peter Umscheid, the CEO of msg global solutions.
Peter Hugger has more than 30 years of professional experience in insurance and particularly reinsurance and brings an exceptional knowledge regarding both industries and international markets. He has a distinguished track record and possesses an excellent network with valuable access to many key people in the insurance and reinsurance industry.
Born in Baden-Wuerttemberg, he studied at the University of Konstanz, where he obtained his doctorate in 1985. Peter spent 17 years in Asia, where he set-up offices for Gerling Global Re. He worked for five years for msg systems in Asia, setting-up and managing the office in Singapore. In 2008, he spent four years in various executive roles at Asia Capital Re in Singapore before he assumed the CEO position at Echo Reinsurance in Zürich, traveling extensively through Asia, MENA, Africa, and Latin America.
Peter now returns to the msg group with his new role at msg global solutions to develop the market in Latin America and the Caribbean. We are very thrilled to welcome Peter onboard.
