EIOPA board nominates Damian Jaworski for the role of Executive Director

The Board of Supervisors of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has decided to nominate Damian Jaworski for the role of Executive Director. Mr Jaworski is expected to take up the position on April 1, 2026, upon confirmation by the European Parliament.  

The selection of Damian Jaworski from among three shortlisted candidates – proposed to EIOPA’s Board of Supervisors by a dedicated Selection Committee – follows an open selection procedure in which candidates were assessed based on their managerial skills, professional experience and proven expertise relevant to EIOPA’s activities as a financial regulator and supervisor.

Mr Jaworski has a distinguished career with nearly thirty years of experience in financial regulation and supervision at national, European and international levels. Currently, he is Director of International Cooperation Department at Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego (KNF), the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.

The appointment of Mr Jaworski is subject to confirmation by the European Parliament.

Petra Hielkema, Chair of EIOPA, said: We are fortunate to have had a strong pool of candidates for the role of Executive Director, and we are pleased to move forward with an excellent nominee. Mr Jaworski impressed our Board of Supervisors with his skills and qualities, and we trust that lawmakers will see him as a valuable addition to EIOPA’s leadership.

EIOPA’s Executive Director is responsible for the day-to-day management of EIOPA and the implementation of its multi-annual and annual work programmes. The Executive Director is appointed for a five-year term, with the possibility of a single renewal for another five years.
