Everest Reinsurance Enhances Leadership with Strategic Appointment

Everest Reinsurance, a key division of the Bermuda-headquartered Everest Group, has announced the strategic appointment of Jason Koh as the Head of Financial Risk for the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. This strategic move comes as Everest Reinsurance aims to bolster its position in the financial risk sector across the APAC markets.

Jason Koh joined Everest Reinsurance in the previous month, transitioning from his role at Swiss Re, a prominent European reinsurer. During his seven-year tenure at Swiss Re, Koh held the position of Vice President and Senior Underwriter in Credit & Surety, operating from the company’s office in Singapore. Prior to this, he served as Vice President, Credit & Surety Underwriter, showcasing a career trajectory marked by progressive responsibilities since his initial engagement with Swiss Re in 2017.

“Jason’s extensive industry expertise and his robust professional network are poised to significantly contribute to reinforcing Everest’s standing in financial risks throughout the APAC region,” the company remarked.

Before his tenure at Swiss Re, Koh accrued valuable industry experience with Euler Hermes as an Account Manager for over two years. This role followed his 15-month stint at QBE Insurance, where he functioned as a Regional Underwriter specializing in Trade Credit.

In the earlier stages of his career, Koh expanded his professional repertoire in the banking sector, serving as a Business Development Manager for Enterprise Banking at OCBC Bank in Singapore for a year. These diverse roles have equipped him with a comprehensive understanding of financial risks, making his transition to Everest Reinsurance a strategic enhancement for the company’s APAC operations.
