On 1 April, Damian Jaworski began his five-year term as Executive Director of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA). The EIOPA Board of Supervisors decided to nominate Damian Jaworski for this role in October 2025.

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.

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 the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.

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 programs. The Executive Director is appointed for a five-year term, with the possibility of a single renewal for another five years.

Previously, he served as Director of the International Relations Department at the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, having nearly 30 years of experience in financial regulation and supervision.

In a recent LinkedIn post, Damian Jaworski said: “I would like to thank members of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) Board of Supervisors and the many colleagues across Europe with whom I have worked over the years. Even though I will continue to sit at the BoS table, my role and perspective will change. This is therefore a good moment to acknowledge the constructive cooperation, candid discussions and friendships we have built, both with current BoS members and with many who served before.”
