Frederic Louat has become chief underwriting officer for Greater China and South East Asia for Zurich’s non-life business, based in Hong Kong.
David Anderson replaces him as manager for Zurich’s Surety, Credit and Political Risk Asia-Pacific. He was previously Louat’s deputy.
The president of surety, credit and political risk at Zurich, Daniel Riordan, says: “Through our offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo, we have been creating closer ties to our customers throughout this region and David’s role will reinforce our strategic expansion and commitment to this market.”
Louat has been with Zurich for nine years. He was global director for trade credit insurance before becoming Asia-Pacific regional manager.
Anderson established and developed Zurich’s Australian and Singapore offices and provided underwriting guidance to regional underwriters. Before joining Zurich, he was an underwriter at FCIA Management Corp and has worked at Citicorp International Trade Indemnity.
