Swiss Re has appointed Anna Lee (pictured) as head of client markets, Hong Kong & Taiwan, effective September 01.

Lee will succeed Xinmei Zheng and hold this new role concurrently with her role as head of new business development for P&C reinsurance SID.

According to Swiss Re, Lee is deeply familiar with the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, having held several leadership roles since joining the company in 2003, including head of P&C reinsurance for Hong Kong and Taiwan, and head of P&C business services for Asia.

“Hong Kong and Taiwan are important markets for Swiss Re in Asia, each with their own unique risk landscape, said Victor Kuk, head of P&C reinsurance SID, Swiss Re. “We look forward to having Anna drive our business in this region, working closely with our clients to develop reinsurance solutions that meet their individual needs.

“At the same time, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Xinmei Zheng for her contribution to Swiss Re since joining in 2008,” Kuk added. “We wish her all the best in her future endeavours.”
