In the role, Samad will work closely with Rizal Zakaria, who was promoted to Chief Executive Officer in January this year after serving as Chief Operations Officer. Samad is also expected to lead initiatives in international partnerships and regional business expansion, while overseeing the ongoing development of the reinsurer’s team.
