Rokstone, the international specialty re/insurance managing general agent (MGA), has added another underwriter to its Singapore marine team as the firm continues an aggressive buildout of its Asia-Pacific operations.
Jackie Lan (pictured above) has been appointed underwriter, joining from QBE Asia where she served as senior hull underwriter. She brings 15 years of experience in the marine industry, including more than a decade specializing in hull and liability insurance across Asia and the Middle East.
Based in Singapore, Lan has worked across regional and international markets and holds established relationships with local and international brokers. She has also contributed insurance expertise to sustainability-focused maritime projects and cross-industry collaborations addressing risks such as digitalization and cyber exposures, and is a former member of the International Union of Marine Insurance committee.

The appointment is the latest hire for Rokstone's Singapore operation, which launched in June 2025 as the city-state's first marine MGA through a multi-year $25 million Lloyd's capacity deal. The unit underwrites four lines – construction, cargo, hull and liability – and has set a target of $50 million in gross written premium within five years.

Rama Chandran, managing director and head of marine APAC at Rokstone, said the hire "highlights the strength of this critical regional hub, at a time when the marine industry faces unprecedented geo-political uncertainty."
He added that the Singapore team "combines rigorous underwriting discipline and a deep understanding of client needs, with the augmentation power of our ATOMX technology and data ecosystem to drive profitable growth and portfolio optimisation."
Lan is the third former QBE underwriter to join Rokstone's Singapore operation in less than a year. In October 2025, the MGA appointed Sharon Seah and Hui Ling Long as directors and senior underwriters, both having previously served at QBE.
The expansion comes as Singapore continues to cement its position as a regional insurance hub. At the November 2025 Singapore International Reinsurance Conference, Monetary Authority of Singapore Managing Director Chia Der Jiun noted that total life, general insurance and reinsurance premiums in the city-state had grown at an average of over 8% annually, reaching about S$78 billion.
