Chaucer expands Asia Pacific treaty capabilities with AXA XL hire
Specialty re/insurer Chaucer has appointed Catherine Soyka as deputy class underwriter for its treaty team in Singapore, as part of its strategy to build a broad marine and non-marine treaty underwriting team to service local clients in the Asia Pacific and Middle East Regions.
Soyka joins Chaucer from AXA XL, where she worked for close to a decade in their Sydney and Singapore offices helping to develop their treaty presence in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia, with a particular focus on multi-national reinsurance buyers.
Tom Graham, head of regional treaty development at Chaucer Singapore, said: “Catherine is an excellent addition to our team. She has a wealth of treaty expertise to complement our already strong presence in the region. Over the last 6 years we have built a team in Singapore and Dubai with a reputation among clients for excellent service, broad knowledge and the ability to deliver tailored solutions across all products. I am confident Catherine’s knowledge and insight will add to this and I look forward to working with her.”
Soyka said: “I am delighted to join Chaucer’s market leading Treaty team. I admire the business the team has built, and look forward to working closely with everyone at Chaucer to deliver creative, long lasting property treaty solutions for brokers and clients. I am excited to be part of the next phase in Chaucer’s international plans.”
