As someone who has worked across both, he is an ideal candidate to continue the development and growth journey of the two platforms,” commented Claire McDonald, CEO of SCOR Business Solutions. “I look forward to working with him in his new role. I would also like to thank Marie Biggas for her valuable leadership in this role over the last 2.5 years, and for covering the interim since her appointment to global CUO for SCOR Business Solutions and Fac.”
