Atradius has announced a series of changes to its management board and executive structure, effective Sept. 1, as part of a broader effort to realign leadership responsibilities and prepare for future business priorities.
Andreas Tesch, currently chief market officer (CMO), has been appointed chief risk officer (CRO), replacing Christian van Lint. Van Lint is stepping down after a 42-year career with Atradius, including 13 years as a member of the management board. He will continue to support the company in an advisory role until Dec. 31, 2025.
With Tesch’s transition, the CMO role will be split into two regional portfolios. Marte Nodal, currently director for Spain, Portugal and Brazil, will join the management board and take responsibility for commercial operations in several regions, including Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Germany, Central and Eastern Europe, the Netherlands and the Nordics, France, Belgium and Luxembourg and Italy. She will also oversee collections, surety and instalment credit protection.
Marc Henstridge will assume the role of CMO for the commercial regions covering the United States, Mexico and Canada; Asia; Oceania; and the United Kingdom and Ireland. His portfolio also includes global operations, credit specialties and Atradius Re.
Chief financial officer (CFO) Claus Gramlich-Eicher will take on the additional responsibility of enterprise risk management alongside his current duties. Chief executive officer (CEO) David Capdevila will now oversee information technology service and group marketing and communication.
According to Capdevila, the changes are intended to enhance operational efficiency and adapt to a shifting global risk environment. “These changes aim to leverage the unique strengths and expertise of each member,” he said. “By incorporating new perspectives and redefining key roles, we’re positioning ourselves to face future challenges with greater agility and effectiveness.”
The company stated that the new structure is designed to better support its global operations, enhance customer engagement across markets, and reinforce risk governance as the trade credit insurance sector continues to evolve.
