Canopius strengthens crisis management team

Canopius Group, the specialty re/insurance platform of Sompo, has appointed Liliz Chen as crisis management underwriter for its Singapore platform.

Chen will report to Linus Phoon, chief executive, Canopius Asia.

She joins Canopius from Atradius Credit Insurance in Singapore where she served as risk services underwriter for the South East Asian and Japanese markets. In this role she successfully managed a large underwriting portfolio of information and communications technology, electronic and consumer business in South East Asia.

Canopius has also strengthened its political risk & crisis management division in London with the appointment of James Bannister as assistant underwriter, war & terrorism.  He joins from Aon and will report to underwriter, Tim Davies.

Phoon said: “Liliz is an excellent addition to our growing team in Singapore.  Her experience in trade credit underwriting, combined with her in-depth understanding and strong analysis of the risks affecting Asian businesses, will support our ambitions to extend our offering across the region.”

Chen added “I am delighted to join Canopius to develop its Crisis Management product line in Asia. There is an increasing demand for specialist (re) insurance products across Asia and I am looking forward to working with both the London and Singapore teams to bring our expertise to local markets.”
