Sompo has announced a leadership transition for its Commercial P&C Insurance operations in Hong Kong, with Li Sheung Kin (S.K.) set to retire as CEO of Sompo Insurance (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. after 24 years with the company.

Li, who was appointed CEO in 2016, will stay on until the end of 2025 to support a smooth transition. 

He is credited with helping to strengthen Sompo’s presence in Hong Kong during his tenure.
