ACE appoints Vietnam insurance president

ACE has appointed Dang Hoang Tung as its new country president for its general insurance operation in Vietnam.

He succeeds Christopher Twomey, who will return to the US to take up a role in ACE’s risk management global casualty underwriting unit.

Dang will oversee the operations and business development activities of ACE’s key business lines in Vietnam namely, property and casualty as well as accident and health and travel insurance.

He will report to Juan Ortega, regional president for ACE’s general insurance operations in Asia-Pacific.

Prior to joining ACE, Dang served at AIG Vietnam since 2006. During his time with AIG, he was promoted to roles with increasing responsibility with his most recent post being the head of distribution for consumer insurance.

Ortega said: “I’m happy to welcome Tung to the leadership team in Asia-Pacific. His local knowledge, network of relationships and business acumen will be critical in accelerating the growth of our Vietnamese operations. I would like to thank Christopher for his contributions to ACE since its start-up in 2007. I wish him all the very best in his new role.”
