McDowell added, “With Lisa we have gained a proven expert to position HDI Global as a reliable partner in the Accident & Health sector in Asia.”
Commenting on her new role, Leow highlighted the opportunity to extend HDI’s market influence as a key factor. “HDI has a strong and growing reputation in Asia and I’m looking forward to bringing new opportunities to the business as we grow our Accident & Health market footprint in the region.”
The addition of accident & health complements HDI’s portfolio in Asia, which spans property, casualty, engineering, marine & cargo, power & energy, and political & credit risk lines of business.
