Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK) has officially confirmed Jonathan Grossman's new role as an underwriter within its property division based in Singapore, taking effect immediately.
With a background spanning nine years in the property insurance sector, primarily across Australia and New Zealand, Grossman joins TMK's team dedicated to the Asia Pacific region. His previous tenure at Chubb in New Zealand saw him overseeing the property strategy and portfolio management.
Grossman has also held roles in property underwriting at Liberty Specialty Markets and Allianz.
Grossman's primary focus at TMK will be on expanding the company's reach across the Asia Pacific, along with Australia and New Zealand, drawing on his network and deep market knowledge in these areas.
Additionally, TMK announced the elevation of Si Min Lim to the role of property underwriter earlier this month, a move aimed at bolstering its response to the rising demand from clients.
Lim, who has been with TMK since 2021, brings her own nine years of experience to her new role. Her responsibilities will include supporting TMK's strategic growth efforts in the Asia Pacific, with an emphasis on the management of its facility and line slip business.
Jamie Tang, regional underwriting director for Asia Pacific at TMK, expressed the company's commitment to expanding its portfolio within the region.
“TMK is proud to be one of the largest insurers operating in the specialist Lloyd's market in Asia Pacific and we have ambitious plans to grow our book. Our underwriters' expertise extends across numerous property classes, including providing reinsurance for industries such as government and real estate, manufacturing, and food and beverage. Our capabilities will be bolstered with the addition of Jonathan and with Si Min's enhanced focus,” he said.
The appointments follow the promotion of Matthew Shaw to the role of chief executive officer.
