Edith Müller Loretz announced her departure in September last year after 26 years at Suva and five years on its Executive Board. With the election of Sévérine Müller, the seamless handover of responsibility in Suva's four-member Executive Board, chaired by Felix Weber, is ensured for the summer of 2025. Sévérine Müller convinced the search committee of the Suva Board of Directors in a multi-stage selection process.

"With Sévérine Müller, an experienced leader will join Suva's Executive Board who is very familiar with the healthcare system in Switzerland and whose track record and integrity are impressive. She will be a good addition to the Executive Board and will help to drive Suva forward with its unique self-financed, non-profit, social partnership model of prevention, insurance and rehabilitation. I am already looking forward to a successful collaboration," commented Suva Council President Andreas Rickenbacher on the election.

New manager with a wealth of experience

After studying law, Sévérine Müller was admitted to the bar and began her professional career at Concordia in 2010. In fall 2019, she moved to the then young Swissre subsidiary Elipslife as Head Claims & Care Management and member of the Executive Management Team Switzerland. After two years, she returned to Concordia and was appointed to the Executive Board as Head of Benefits. Sévérine Müller can communicate in German, French, Italian and English.

"I find it very inspiring and meaningful that everything at Suva revolves around making work and leisure safer for people in Switzerland. I look forward to contributing my experience and commitment to the Suva Executive Board in pursuit of this goal," explains Sévérine Müller.

Thanks to the successful completion of the recruitment process by the Suva Board Committee, Ms. Müller will be able to seamlessly take over her responsibilities at Suva from Edith Müller Loretz in summer 2025. "I look forward to welcoming Sévérine Müller to Suva's Executive Board together with my colleagues in the summer," comments Felix Weber, Chairman of Suva's Executive Board.
