FWD Singapore has announced a series of senior appointments effective 1 January 2026, with Candy Goh, Henry Chua, and Alvin Soh taking on expanded or new leadership roles as the insurer streamlines oversight across core functions and prepares for its next phase of growth.
Candy Goh, currently chief financial officer, will see her remit expanded to include the legal function, in addition to her existing responsibilities spanning finance, actuarial, and data analytics. She has been with the insurer since 2020 and brings more than 20 years of industry experience, having previously held roles at AXA, Manulife, Citi, and Tokio Marine.
Henry Chua will take on the expanded role of chief technology and operating officer, having served as chief technology officer since joining FWD Singapore in 2023. During his tenure, he supervised the build-out of the insurer’s digital ecosystem and technology infrastructure. He has more than 25 years of industry experience, including stints at Manulife, Chubb, and HSBC.
As part of his expanded remit, Chua will assume responsibilities currently held by Emily Wong, chief operating officer, who will transition to FWD’s Hong Kong business as deputy COO.
Meanwhile, Alvin Soh has been appointed chief distribution and marketing officer. He joined FWD Singapore in 2022 and most recently served as interim chief financial officer. A qualified actuary, Soh has more than 15 years of industry experience, with previous roles at Prudential, Tokio Marine, and Aviva.
Commenting on the changes, FWD Singapore CEO Adrian Vincent said: “With our refreshed leadership structure, we are unifying distribution, product, and marketing to move with greater speed, alignment, and clarity.”
The Singapore leadership changes follow a separate group-level appointment at FWD Group back in October, with Craig Tunstall named interim group chief risk officer.
