Fritz Gerber suffered a stroke on 9 May 2020 and died on 10 May 2020 at the age of 91.
Gerber stepped down as the CEO or Zurich Insurance in 1991, but remained as the chairman of the board of directors until 1995. In 1997, he stepped down as CEO of Roche and stayed on as chairman until 2001. In 2004, he surrendered his seat on the board and took an honorary title with Roche.
In 1990, Gerber moved into the biotechnology field with the acquisition of a 60% stake in Genentech for $2.1 billion. With the acquisition, the company gained access to breakthrough cancer drugs such as Herceptin and Avastin. In 1991, Roche acquired the patent rights to polymerase chain reaction technology from Cetus Corporation. The acquisition of Boehringer Mannheim, now Roche Diagnostics, for $11 billion made Roche the largest diagnostic products company in the world and the sixth-largest pharmaceuticals firm in the world at the time.
In 1977, he was appointed as CEO of Zurich Insurance. One year later, Hoffman-La Roche named him as its CEO, but retained his position at Zurich. From 1978 to 1991, he ran both companies. At the time of his appointment, Roche was struggling from reputational fallout after the 1976 Seveso disaster in which an explosion at a facility operated by a Roche subsidiary in Italy sickened people and livestock in the surrounding area.

Fritz Gerber was born on 22 March 1929 in Huttwil, a municipality in the Canton of Bern.
