VIG Re has appointed Wilfrid Goh as APAC Chief Representative for its proposed representative office in Singapore, effective 1 July 2026, subject to approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Goh joins from Swiss Re, where he spent 12 years and was most recently head of public sector solutions for Asia, excluding China. Prior to that, he spent more than eight years at Munich Re.

In his new role, Goh is tasked with establishing the Prague-based reinsurer’s presence in Singapore and serving as a link between the representative office and headquarters. He will report to Marc Haushofer, APAC Managing Director at VIG Re, who first joined the business in May 2025, and, in January, was officially appointed to his current role

The appointment supports VIG Re’s three-year VIGRe28 strategy, which identifies Asia as a key growth pillar alongside digitally enabled underwriting and advanced analytics. Through the proposed Singapore office, the reinsurer plans to expand beyond established markets such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan into China, India, and Southeast Asia.
