Atradius Unveils New Management Board Structure and Responsibilities
Atradius Management Board Changes
On July 4, 2025, Atradius, a global leader in credit insurance and related services, declared significant changes to its Management Board, scheduled to take effect on September 1, 2025. This restructuring aims to enhance the company’s operational efficiency and strategic response in an increasingly complex business landscape.
Key Appointments
One of the most notable shifts is the appointment of Andreas Tesch, who currently serves as the Chief Market Officer (CMO), to the position of Chief Risk Officer (CRO). Tesch will be taking over the role from Christian van Lint, who has had a remarkable 42-year tenure at Atradius and has been a board member for over 13 years. Despite his departure from the board, Christian van Lint will remain as an advisor to Atradius's highest executive body until December 31, 2025.
In the wake of this transition, the CMO position will be divided into two distinct roles to better manage Atradius’s diverse commercial interests. Marta Nodal, who is currently the Director for Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, will join the Management Board as the new CMO. In this role, she will oversee operations across various key regions, specifically Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Central and Eastern Europe, among others. Additionally, she will be responsible for important areas including Collections, Surety, and Instalment Credit Protection.
Meanwhile, Marc Henstridge will take charge of the remaining commercial regions as CMO, overseeing the United States, Canada, Asia, Oceania, and the UK and Ireland. Marc will also manage global credit specialties and the Atradius Re division, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the international market.
Expanded Roles and Responsibilities
Along with these appointments, Claus Gramlich-Eicher, the current Chief Financial Officer (CFO), will now oversee Enterprise Risk Management, expanding his role to ensure that the financial strategy aligns with risk management practices. David Capdevila, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), will extend his responsibilities to include Information Technology Service and Group Marketing and Communication, integrating technology and marketing strategies for better synergy.
In his statement, CEO David Capdevila expressed gratitude to Christian for his long service and leadership at Atradius, highlighting the importance of the new appointments. “By incorporating new perspectives and redefining key roles, we're positioning ourselves to face future challenges with greater agility and effectiveness,” he stated. These changes signify a strategic realignment aimed at enhancing the company’s ability to achieve its objectives while delivering exceptional value to customers.
