In parallel, Euler Hermes announced changes in responsibilities for two current members of the companyâ€™s leadership team.

Nicolas Hein, chief financial officer and member of the Euler Hermes board of management, has resigned from the board and relinquished his responsibilities as CFO, with immediate effect.

Having served as CFO since 2004, he leaves the company on December 31, 2012.

FrÃ©dÃ©ric Biziere, member of the Euler Hermes board of management since October 2011, is named as CFO with immediate effect.

He will be responsible for Group finance, compliance, legal, tax, risk and reinsurance functions, having previously been responsible for Group market management, commercial and distribution (MMCD) activities.

He joined Euler Hermes France in 1998 as head of accounting, from previous positions with the Banque FranÃ§aise du Commerce ExtÃ©rieur (today Natixis) and KPMG.

In 2004 he became corporate secretary for Euler Hermes France and in 2005 was named to its board of management.

In 2010 he became head of global commercial and distribution activities and has led the Euler Hermes global MMCD function since October 2011.

Paul Overeem is nominated to the Euler Hermes Group board of management, effective January 1, 2013, with responsibility for MMCD activities.

He is currently head of region for Euler Hermes Northern Europe. Overeem established Euler Hermes Kredietverzekering in The Netherlands in 1989, and served as CEO.

Ludovic SÃ©nÃ©caut, currently head of region for Euler Hermes France, will become head of region for Euler Hermes Northern Europe on January 1, 2013.
