Delta Underwriting has appointed Lisa Leow (pictured above) as its new head of accident and health, marking the company’s entry into the A&H insurance market.

Known for its specialised offerings in cyber and technology, professional indemnity, management liability, and legal expenses insurance, Delta Underwriting is now expanding its portfolio.

Eugene Cheong, managing director of Delta Underwriting, highlighted the positive reception of the company’s products in Asian markets.

“Intermediaries and business partners appreciate the ease of doing business with us, and our consistent approach to service delivery and excellence,” he said.

Cheong expressed confidence that Leow will further enhance the value Delta Underwriting provides to its intermediaries and their clients.

“Our team has steadily expanded over the past seven years since inception, and with Leow’s appointment, our intermediaries will soon have another quality Delta product enhancing their reach and ability to add value to end customers,” he said.

Leow, with over three decades of experience in the insurance industry, has held senior roles in accident and health and commercial lines at prominent insurers such as AIG, Zurich, QBE, and Starr.

In her new role, she will focus on developing and growing the A&H portfolio, complementing Delta Underwriting’s current product lines.

“Delta Underwriting has established itself as a serious player in APAC. Intermediaries and insured parties recognise Delta for its innovative approach, with policies designed to protect against new and emerging risks in a continually evolving world,” she said. “That’s a heritage I’ll build upon as we work together on creating a compelling value proposition with unique relevant differentiators in the A&H products.”

Leow’s appointment is effective as of Aug. 1.
