In her new role, Choi will help grow the life insurance business across the region. She will also continue to work in her current position as chief executive of Global Life in Hong Kong.
Choi previously worked as the insurer’s regional chief operations officer in Asia where she had an integral part in establishing a range of initiatives, including Zurich Insurance Malaysia Berhad and Zurich Indonesia Life.
According to Zurich, her previous experience in Asia has given her a “comprehensive understanding” of the region.
“Since joining Zurich five years ago, Paula has done a tremendous job in driving the Hong Kong business to focus on realising our overall Global Life business growth ambitions,” said Colin Morgan, chief executive of Global Life Asia Pacific.
Cornerstone
Choi said customers are at the cornerstone of everything Zurich does: “When we get that right, we put ourselves in a strong position to further develop our life insurance business across Asia Pacific, to help ensure people throughout the region have the right insurance coverage they need to fulfil their dreams and to provide for their families.”
Choi starts her new role on Monday.
