Zurich Insurance (Hong Kong) has appointed Philip Chiu as the head of our global corporate division, following his post as head of financial lines in Asia.

In his new role, he will directly report to Keith Thomas, CEO Global Corporate APAC, with a matrix reporting line into Eric Hui, CEO, Hong Kong.

Chiu joined Zurich in 2014, excelling beyond underwriting and targeting the new international programmes business to Hong Kong. This led to his promotion as head of financial lines where he grew the corporate insurance business. Chiu as global corporate division head hopes to expand upon Zurich's existing product offering and propositions, with the view to provide customer-focused protection with innovative product solutions.

With a rich background in underwriting and business development spanning 20 years, Chiu’s insurance career started with AIG, where he served for 10 years. This was followed by creating DUAL Asia, a start-up underwriting agency operation where he established strategic partnerships with MSIG throughout Asia.
