Sucheng Chang to lead Markel International’s APAC operations

Sucheng Chang has been appointed to head up Markel International’s Asia Pacific business, which operates from its regional hub in Singapore and offices in Australia, Hong Kong, China, India, Malaysia and Dubai.

Effective from 14 July, Chang will take over from Christian Stobbs, who announced earlier this year his decision to leave the Asia Pacific region, remaining with Markel in another role.

Chang joins Markel with significant experience scaling insurance operations across the Asia Pacific, most recently as Chief Executive Officer, Hong Kong, for Aon.

Before Aon, Chang spent more than 13 years at Liberty Mutual in strategic roles, including Chief Distribution Officer, Global Retail Markets East and Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Insurance Singapore.

Andrew McMellin, President of Markel International, commented on the appointment, “Sucheng is a highly strategic and well-respected leader within the Asia Pacific market, and I’m thrilled that he’s joining Markel to lead our regional business in the next phase of its development.

“The Accelerate Asia Pacific strategy is a cornerstone of the profitable growth agenda at Markel International. I’ve no doubt that Sucheng’s leadership qualities and his significant experience of scaling insurance operations in Asia will help us to build on this momentum as we push it forward to even greater success.”

Chang himself added, “Markel has made huge inroads in Asia Pacific and today is a well-respected insurance partner to clients and trading partners in the region, renowned for its focus on exceptional service and customer outcomes.

“I therefore couldn’t be more excited to lead the next phase of the expansion of Markel’s Asia Pacific business, building on the progress that’s been made to expand our presence even further and take advantage of the opportunities available in the US$300-billion GWP Asia-Pacific insurance market.”
