SRA veteran Yeo to retire; ex-AIG/Chubb executive to fill top role
The Singapore Reinsurers’ Association (SRA) has appointed a new executive director succeeding Jeffrey Yeo, who will be retiring at the end of 2023.
Jeslyn Tan, the new executive director, has over 20 years of industry experience leading consulting, distribution, and market management with AIG, Chubb, and most recently, Crawford & Company. She also served as the President of the Singapore Insurance Institute, a non-profit organisation in Singapore from 2020 to 2023.
Both Tan and Yeo will work closely to ensure a smooth transition. They will both report to the SRA chair Marc Haushofer.
Yeo became the SRA’s inaugural executive director in 2015, at a crucial time when the SRA grew in its prominence in the region. He built up the Secretariat team and was instrumental in the growth and accomplishments of the association in the last nine years. One of SRA’s notable task is the organisation of the annual Singapore International Reinsurance Conference (SIRC).
“The SIRC has cemented its place as the most distinguished Reinsurance Rendezvous for Asia, a strong testament to the achievements of Jeffrey, his team and the Executive Committee (EXCO),” the association said.
Haushofer commented: “With her broad experience and passion for promoting professionalism in the industry, I believe Jeslyn is well-suited to lead SRA’s continued development, transformation, and innovation. The EXCO and I welcome and look forward to working with her.”
