Lloyd’s appoints new CEO of Lloyd’s Asia

Lloyd’s has appointed Pavlos Spyropoulos as country manager for Singapore and chief executive of Lloyd’s Asia. He replaces Angela Kelly.

Spyropoulos has more than 12 years of experience at Lloyd’s and in the APAC re/insurance markets, having worked in a number of senior roles at Lloyd’s following his completion of the Lloyd’s graduate scheme in 2008. In 2014 he relocated to Singapore to assume responsibility for Lloyd’s Asia’s Market Development function and lead several strategic initiatives in Asia Pacific, before becoming Head of Market Development for Lloyd’s in Asia Pacific in 2019. In this role, he has been responsible for working with Lloyd’s regional network to develop the market’s presence, strategy, and stakeholder management in the Asia Pacific.

Spyropoulos has also recently been elected to the Singapore Reinsurers' Association as an executive member.

In his new role, Spyropoulos will report to Iain Ferguson, regional director APAC and president Lloyd’s Japan.

Ferguson said: “I am particularly pleased that we have been able to fill this position with one of our own team through internal promotion. I know that Pavlos is looking forward to the challenge of his new role and I wish him the best of luck.”

Spyropoulos added: “Lloyd’s Asia is a key distribution hub for the Lloyd’s market in Asia Pacific, providing our brokers and clients in the region with local access to the specialist products and expertise we are renowned for. I am looking forward to working closely with our market to support their development plans and introducing solutions developed under The Future at Lloyd’s strategy as we continue to be the platform of choice for specialist (re)insurance in the region.”
