Willis Re has appointed Kyung Won as senior leader for Asia Pacific, the reinsurance broker announced on LinkedIn on Thursday.
Based in Singapore, Won will support business growth and oversee the build-out of Willis Re’s regional operations. Before joining the broker, Won spent over a year at Gallagher Re, most recently as regional director and head of sales for APAC.
Earlier in his career, he worked at the Singapore and Australia offices of both Aon and Guy Carpenter (now Marsh Re). He has more than 25 years of experience across reinsurance broking and analytics.
Lucy Clarke, a board member of Willis Re, said, “Kyung brings significant senior leadership experience and a strong track record of leading high-performing teams and delivering sustainable, client-focused growth.” She added that his appointment will support the broker as it expands across Asia.
The move follows several senior hires by Willis Re this year, including the appointments of Kevin Chin as senior vice president, Neil Eckert as chief executive officer and Richard Jones as head of Asia operations.
