Trade credit insurer Atradius has named Vincent Ku as its country manager in charge of the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.
Ku succeeds Matthew Cockerill, who departed from the company after 30 years to join Coface as head of commercial underwriting, Asia-Pacific.
A part of Atradius since 2008, Ku was previously a regional sales manager prior to his latest promotion. He was responsible for growing the company’s business in China and contributed to restoring the portfolio to profitability after the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.
Ku will be based in Hong Kong and will report to Asia and Middle East managing director Eric den Boogert, who commented: “Over the past years he has used his experience in the credit insurance market to continuously contribute to the profitable growth of our business in the Greater China region.”
