Swiss Re Corporate Solutions has appointed Jingwei Jia as chief executive officer, China, effective immediately. Jia will be based in Shanghai and drive Swiss Re Corporate Solutions’ strategy of building its China operations into a leading commercial insurer.
Since joining Swiss Re in 2003, Jia has held senior business development and underwriting roles in China, Singapore, the U.K. and the U.S.
He succeeds Andreas Hillebrand, who led Corporate Solutions China since the acquisition of Sun Alliance, and will return to his post in Zurich as global head of credit and surety.
Jia’s appointment is subject to approval from the China Insurance Regulatory Commission.
“Our focus will be on building our reputation for helping Chinese corporations cover risks, especially those associated with climate change, construction, manufacturing and renewable energy,” commented Jia.
“With his multi-cultural perspective and experience as chief operations officer of our China operations, Jingwei will be invaluable in growing the company,” says Fred Kleiterp, CEO Asia Pacific, Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. “He is the ideal successor to lead our team in China.”
Swiss Re Corporate Solutions has Asia-Pacific-based offices in Beijing, Brisbane, Hong Kong, Labuan, Melbourne, Nanjing, Osaka, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
