Baloise Group CFO Carsten Stolz to Depart After Two Decades of Service

Carsten Stolz, the Chief Financial Officer of the Baloise Group, has decided to leave the company as of 31 December 2025 to pursue new professional challenges outside the organization. Stolz has played a key part in shaping and influencing Baloise since 2002, holding various positions at Group level and in the operating business before becoming CFO in 2017. In that role, he has held responsibility on the Corporate Executive Committee and Group Strategy Board for the further development and transformation of finance at the company.

Thomas von Planta, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Baloise Holding Ltd, expressed gratitude to Stolz for his dedication over more than two decades. "We are losing a highly experienced executive and proven leader," von Planta stated. "Carsten Stolz initiated and successfully implemented the financial transformation of the Baloise Group. The Board of Directors would like to thank him for his significant contributions and wishes him all the best for the future." The departure represents a significant leadership change for Baloise, a European company founded more than 160 years ago that currently employs 8,000 people and generated a business volume of around CHF 8.6 billion in 2024.

The announcement comes as Baloise continues to position itself as more than just a traditional insurance company, offering smart finance and insurance solutions through its operations in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. The company's shares (BALN) are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, and more information about the organization can be found at https://www.baloise.com. The original release announcing Stolz's departure was published on https://www.newmediawire.com, though the company has not yet announced a successor for the CFO position.

Stolz's departure at the end of 2025 creates an important transition period for Baloise's financial leadership as the company continues its focus on making tomorrow more straightforward, safer and more carefree for customers. The timing of the announcement provides several weeks for the company to manage the transition before Stolz's actual departure date. The move represents a notable change in the company's executive team, particularly given Stolz's long tenure and his role in financial transformation initiatives that have been central to Baloise's strategic direction in recent years.
