Effective July 1, Fernando Utrilla Agüero has been named Deputy Chief Financial Officer of MAPFRE RE. Utrilla, who most recently served as Assistant General Manager of MAPFRE Group Business, has been with the company since 1994 and brings decades of financial and operational experience to the role. He holds degrees in Business Administration and Insurance Sciences from the Pontifical University of Salamanca.
In a parallel move, José López González, currently Underwriting Manager for MAPFRE Group Retrocessions, will step into the role of Assistant General Manager of MAPFRE Group Business and will join the company’s Management Committee. López, who joined MAPFRE RE in 2008, holds a degree in Economics from the University of Alcalá de Henares and has held several strategic roles in reinsurance and retrocession.
Both Utrilla and López will report directly to Miguel Rosa, CEO of MAPFRE RE.
The appointments mark the latest phase of an executive restructuring that began in February 2025, when MAPFRE RE updated its organisational framework with key appointments, including Javier San Basilio as General Manager. These latest changes aim to support MAPFRE RE’s long-term goals of strengthening commercial relationships, improving operational efficiency, and expanding its global reinsurance business.
Further changes to MAPFRE RE’s governance will take place later this year. On September 6, José Manuel Inchausti will assume the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors, replacing Esteban Tejera, who is stepping down after reaching the statutory age limit for board service. Inchausti’s appointment is expected to further align MAPFRE RE’s leadership with the evolving demands of the global reinsurance market.
The refreshed leadership structure underscores MAPFRE RE’s commitment to driving sustainable growth while adapting to an increasingly complex and competitive global landscape.
