Specialist Risk Group names Collin Yap as Chief Executive Officer of Asia Pacific

Insurance industry intermediary, Specialist Risk Group (SRG), has appointed Collin Yap as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Asia Pacific, after his current employment contract ends in the new year.

This leadership appointment aligns with SRG’s broader expansion into the Asia Pacific region, following the acquisition of Singapore-domiciled, retail insurance broker, HL Suntek Insurance Brokers Pte Ltd, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.

The recent acquisition led to the appointment of Chua Eng Leong as Non-Executive Director, who Yap will work closely with along with Lim Eng Thiam, Managing Director of HL Suntek.

Yap brings over 20 years of insurance industry experience, having previously held prominent roles at some of the region’s top firms. With deep expertise in the Asia Pacific market and a strong track record of building high-performing teams, he is uniquely positioned to lead SRG’s Asia Pacific expansion and growth strategy.

Most recently, as the CEO of Marsh McLennan Singapore, he played a pivotal role in driving growth and innovation across the business.

Prior to that, Yap was CEO of JLT Singapore where he led the company’s efforts to deliver tailored insurance solutions to clients.

Warren Downey, Group CEO of Specialist Risk Group, commented on the appointment: “We are thrilled to welcome Collin Yap to lead our expansion in the Asia Pacific region. Collin’s extensive experience in the region, combined with his deep knowledge of the insurance industry, makes him the perfect leader to drive our business forward in Asia.

“His appointment reflects our commitment to investing in top talent as we continue to build a business that delivers innovative, specialist solutions for clients while staying true to SRG’s people and culture focus.”

Yap added: “I am incredibly excited to join Specialist Risk Group at such a pivotal time. SRG’s strong focus on people, culture, and specialist expertise sets it apart in the market, and I look forward to leading our expansion across Asia Pacific.

“With the recent acquisition of HL Suntek and the support of our talented team, I am confident that we can build a business that delivers exceptional value to our clients and makes a lasting impact in the region.”
