Athora appoints interim CFO

Athora Holding has appointed Rakesh Thakrar as interim Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. He will also join the Group Management Committee, pending regulatory approval.

Rakesh, with over 25 years of insurance experience, was previously CFO at Phoenix Group, a FTSE100 savings and retirement services company. He succeeds Anders Malmström, who will leave Athora in early 2025 for an executive role in Switzerland. The two will collaborate to ensure a smooth transition.

“Rakesh is a respected and experienced leader in the industry. His deep technical knowledge and demonstrable track record in M&A, including complex integrations, make him a strong addition to the Athora leadership team.” – Todd Solash, Athora Group President & Deputy CEO.
