Distributed Ledger Technology project team
At the cutting edge of technology

Swiss Re formed the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) project team two years ago in an effort to better understand the potential applications of blockchain technology and cryptography in our industry.

The team is diverse — members hail from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, and represent a wide range of skills and experience — but they all have at least two things in common: an open mind and a determination to transform our business.

Befitting a team working at the cutting edge of technology, this cross-functional collaboration was “virtual” from the start and devoid of hierarchies.
