Zurich Insurance has appointed Dylan Bryant as Head of Zurich Multinational & Captives, Asia Pacific, and Patrick Fyson as Head of Property, Asia, the insurer announced today, 2 September. Both are based in Singapore.
Bryant takes a newly created role overseeing outward, inward and international programmes, as well as captive fronting and related solutions. He will drive strategy, performance and service delivery across Asia Pacific and lift the region’s contribution to Zurich’s global multinational and captives network.
He was most recently Executive Manager, Group Insurance at Commonwealth Bank, and previously held roles as Director and CEO of Swiss Re International SE in Hong Kong, as well as senior positions at Aon and Lloyd’s. He returns to the business after spending 2002 to 2014 at Zurich in underwriting and multinational roles.
He reports to Sean Walker, APAC Head of Commercial Insurance and Chief Technical Officer, with accountability to Carin Gantenbein, Global Head of Multinational Network Management, and joins both the APAC commercial insurance leadership team and the global Zurich Multinational team.
“Dylan’s appointment, and his return to Zurich, further strengthens our ability to deliver coordinated, compliant and commercially effective solutions across both multinational programmes and captives,” said Walker.
Fyson, meanwhile, will lead property underwriting across Asia, shaping the underwriting strategy and building in-country capability.
He joins from Canopius Group, where he was Head of Property Direct & Facultative, APAC & MENA, and spent more than nine years at Tokio Marine Kiln before that.
Fyson reports to Liam Burrell, CEO Singapore & Head of Commercial Insurance, Asia, who said Fyson’s “background in managing complex property portfolios across multiple markets will be invaluable as we continue to grow our commercial business in Asia and support customers with comprehensive risk solutions”.
The appointments come as Zurich’s Asia Pacific business reported business operating profit of US$348m for the first half of 2026, up 15% year on year.
