Ironshore lures Catlin exec

Ironshore International has appointed Hui Yun Boo as managing director Asia-Pacific and principal officer in Singapore.

She will be responsible for overseeing business growth and product development of Ironshore specialty lines in the Asia-Pacific and will report to Mark Wheeler, chief executive officer of Ironshore International.

Boo joins from Catlin Singapore where she served as chief financial officer for Asia-Pacific. She has also held positions at QBE Insurance and ING General Insurance.

“Ironshore has experienced progressive expansion throughout the Asia Pacific region since we established our regional presence four years ago,” said Wheeler. “We are pleased to welcome Hui Yun to Ironshore; she is a superb executive with deep experience in Asia and Australia and is without a doubt the right person to lead, build and expand upon our existing footprint in the region.”

Boo said: “I am impressed by the way Ironshore views the opportunities that Asia has to offer and the manner in which they have engaged with the market. I look forward to joining this exciting group and to leading the strategic direction that will drive regional development and improve distribution channels for Ironshore’s four regional entities in Asia and Australia.”
