Reto Egloff new member of the Helsana Group Board of Directors

At the Helsana Group's Annual General Meeting on May 26, 2023, shareholders elected Reto Egloff (54) to the Board of Directors. He succeeds Severin Moser (60). The latter had been a member of the Helsana Group's Board of Directors since 2007 and in this capacity most recently chaired the Digitization Committee and was a member of the Investment Committee. In Reto Egloff, Helsana's strategic management body is gaining a profound expert in health insurance who also has an excellent network outside the industry.

Chairman of the Board of Directors Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas D. Szucs is delighted with the election: "Rising healthcare costs, a shortage of specialists and increasing digitalization - the Swiss healthcare system is changing ever more rapidly. Reto Egloff knows the health insurance industry from the perspective of supervision, association and market. With his comprehensive know-how and excellent network in the industry and politics, he brings ideal prerequisites to position Helsana even more strongly as an active shaper of the Swiss healthcare system." Reto Egloff worked at KPT Krankenversicherung from 2007 to 2021, holding the position of CEO from 2013. He was also a member of the board of curafutura, the industry association, from 2013 to 2021. Before that, the lawyer was section head of health insurance supervision at the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and held management positions in the hotel industry.

With a broad range of basic, supplementary and accident insurance products, as well as daily sickness benefits, Helsana protects around 2.2 million people against the financial consequences of illness, accident, maternity and the need for care in old age. The company also develops insurance solutions for over 60,000 companies and associations to cushion the economic consequences of absences due to illness or accident.
