Stephanie Hong joins Tokio Marine Kiln as Marine Underwriter

Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK) on Wednesday (11 Sep) announced the hire of Stephanie Hong as Marine Underwriter, effective immediately.

Singapore-based Hong joined the Asia Pacific team after five years with Great American, where she served most recently as Senior Manager for Marine Cargo. She brings with her over 20 years of industry experience, having worked previously at Starr Insurance and Chubb Group.

In her new role, Hong will be focused on deepening TMK’s presence in target markets across Asia, the specialty insurer said in its announcement.

“With the size of TMK’s marine portfolio doubling last year, Stephanie’s appointment comes at an exciting time for the business,” commented Pavlos Spyropoulos, Regional Managing Director for APAC.

“With a strong track record of delivery and over 20 years of experience, her knowledge is unparalleled. Combined with our reputation for being market-leaders in the class, the marine team is well placed to seize the significant growth opportunities in the APAC market,” Spyropoulos added.

Speaking on her move to TMK, Hong said, “TMK has seen a significant period of sustained growth in marine and has an unrivalled reputation of excellence in the market, so the opportunity to join the team and help grow the offering even more was just too difficult to turn down.

It’s a really exciting time to be joining the team and the ambition of the business is impressive. I’m looking forward to bringing my expertise to expand TMK’s already market-leading offering.”
