Lloyd’s Asia CEO switches to Tokio Marine Kiln to drive profitable growth

Specialist insurer  Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK) has tapped Lloyd’s Asia chief executive officer (CEO) to help drive “profitable growth” in the region.

Pavlos Spryropoulos (pictured) joins Tokio Marine Kiln as regional managing director for Asia as Alex Dugand returns to London to take up the position of international development officer.

Spyropoulos relocated to Singapore in 2014 to assume responsibility for Lloyd’s Asia’s market development. Since then, he has had a variety of senior roles including head of market development for Lloyd’s in Asia Pacific and is also an executive committee member of the Singapore Reinsurers’ Association.

He is said to have played an integral part in driving the strategic direction, promotion and oversight of Lloyd’s in Singapore as well as promoting Lloyd’s in the broader ASEAN region.

Dugand moved to Singapore to take up the post as regional underwriting director in 2016, before becoming regional managing director in 2018.

In his new role, Dugand will support the executive team in the delivery of TMK’s underwriting and operational strategy, reporting to CUO Matthew Shaw.

TMK chief executive officer Brad Irick said: “I’m delighted to welcome Pavlos to Tokio Marine Kiln. His experience in the Asian insurance sector is impressive, and he has an excellent track record of leading high performing teams.”

He added: “I would also like to thank Alex for all the work he has done for TMK in Asia. He has built a strong and highly capable team and a successful and profitable business that I know will continue to thrive under Pavlos’ leadership. I’m excited to welcome him back to London as we further our profitable growth aspirations through 2022 and beyond.”
