SCOR merges APAC Life & Health units under new leadership

Dion Russell left SCOR to pursue other opportunities.

French reinsurer, SCOR, has combined two of its life and health (L&H) businesses in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region into SCOR L&H APAC.

Namely, these were L&H Fast Growth Markets APAC and L&H Mature Markets APAC. The centralised segment will be led by Chloe Wang, the new head of SCOR L&H APAC.

“Asia Pacific is a key growth region for Life & Health, presenting both a wealth of opportunities to grasp, as well as particular challenges to navigate,” said SCOR chief executive officer (CEO) Thierry Léger. “We count on Chloe, her leadership team, and all our SCOR L&H employees in APAC to continue to contribute to our profitable growth and we wish her luck in this new role.” 

Dion Russell, who served most recently as SCOR’s head of L&H Mature Markets APAC, has left SCOR to pursue other opportunities. 

Paula Bourke, deputy CEO for L&H Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), will step in as interim Head of L&H ANZ.
