New Head of Business Unit Special Risks appointed

Zurich, May 3, 2024 – Kessler has promoted Sébastien Wyss to Head of Business Unit Special Risks as of May 1. He is taking over from Christian Peters.

Sébastien Wyss started working for Kessler in 2011, gaining in-depth knowledge as a client executive and broker. Since 2018 he has been working in the Special Risks business unit, where he has been in charge of Financial Lines Advice and Brokerage as a Team Leader. In his new position as business unit head, he will be responsible for Financial Lines, Multinational, the Risk Practice Special Risks as well as Kidnapping & Ransom. Sébastien has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Communications from the Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich (HWZ), and graduated from the Kaderschule Zürich (KSZH) as a certified economist.

He is taking over from Christian Peters, who has decided to take on a new challenge outside Kessler. We would like to thank Christian for his hard work and for his dedication to Kessler over the last 24 years. He has played a key role in the unit’s development during that time.

Pascal Schweingruber, a member of Kessler’s Executive Committee, has welcomed this promotion and looks forward to working with the new unit head: “Sébastien Wyss is familiar with every aspect of our business, and knows how Kessler can make a significant contribution to our clients’ long-term success. I’m happy to see him get this well-earned promotion, and wish him success and happiness in his new position.”
