Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK) has expanded its Singapore-based operations with the appointment of Phoebe Liew as special risks underwriter.
In her new post, Liew will handle credit and political risk coverage under the leadership of Cindy Gunawan, head of special risks for Asia Pacific.
“I am delighted to join Cindy and the team at TMK to continue to grow the special risks offering. TMK in Singapore has made a name for itself as a centre for empowered underwriting backed by an exceptional local claims team. I am looking forward to furthering this reputation and supporting the business with its ambitious growth plans,” Liew said.
Liew brings nearly 10 years of experience in credit and political risk underwriting. Before joining TMK, she was credit and political risk director at Texel in Singapore, where she managed exposures in sectors ranging from trade and project finance to renewables, infrastructure, and commodities. Earlier in her career, she also held senior operational roles with China National Building Materials Group.
Gunawan pointed to Liew’s depth in trade finance as one of the key reasons for her appointment.
“Our Singapore business has grown rapidly driven by a relentless focus on attracting leaders who have the requisite expertise and reputation and commercial acumen to maintain our growth momentum,” Gunawan said. “Phoebe's proven track record in managing complex deals, building strong client relationships and delivering business growth will be invaluable as we continue to expand our offering in response to client demand.”
Outside her professional roles, Liew currently serves as chairperson of the International Project Finance Association’s Future Leaders Network in Singapore.
