He will report to Adam Clifford, Country President for Chubb in Singapore.

Regina Baxter, Manager of PRS and Regional Fine Arts Specialist. Ms. Baxter joined Chubb in 2011 as an underwriter and in 2016, was appointed as the region's Fine Arts Specialist because of her unique ability to combine underwriting with knowledge in fine arts. In her new role, she will be responsible for the management and profitability of the PRS portfolio, including all underwriting and market-facing functions. Ms. Baxter will report to Mr. Tan.

Edward Ler, Chubb's Regional Head of Personal Lines, said "The Asia Pacific is a region of significant growth potential for personal lines insurance given the rising middle class and growing affluence especially in Singapore.
