Zurich’s global boss receives a warm welcome Zurich Global Chief Executive Martin Senn received a warm welcome when he visited the group’s Australian operations in December – and not just due to the temperature difference from his native Switzerland. In his first visit to Australia since taking over as chief executive in January 2010, Mr Senn was the guest of honour at a black tie event at Sydney’s Mint that brought together many of the local industry’s leaders and their partners. Mr Senn and his wife Guen Soo met Zurich staff, chief executives of companies insured by Zurich in Australia, and Zurich’s leading intermediaries and advisers. The former banker spent two days in Australia inspecting the group’s local operations.
