Chaucer has named Jonathan Ng as class underwriter in political risk for its Singapore office. According to a news release, the appointment underscores Chaucer’s commitment to expanding its political risk capabilities and enhancing service delivery to clients across the Asia-Pacific region and globally.

Ng brings a wealth of industry expertise to the role. He joins Chaucer from AXA XL, where he specialized in political risk underwriting as part of Catlin’s Lloyd’s syndicate, focusing primarily on development and commercial banks. His prior experience includes roles at Talbot Risk Services Pte Ltd and chairmanship of the political risk and credit committee within Lloyd’s Development Group.

Deborah Wyatt, Chaucer’s head of political risks and credit, said the appointment reflects the firm’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions.

Margaret To, CEO of Chaucer Singapore, echoed this sentiment, stating, “We’re delighted to welcome Jonathan to the Singapore team. His extensive knowledge and track record in political risk underwriting will be invaluable as we continue to solidify Chaucer’s position as a market leader. Jonathan will also help us to continue to deliver for our APAC and global clients.”

In his new role, Ng will report to Jamie Taylor, class underwriter at Chaucer, who expressed enthusiasm for the appointment. “We are looking forward to working with Jonathan, as a very well-regarded underwriter in our market,” Taylor said.

Ng also expressed his excitement about the new role. “I’m thrilled to be joining Chaucer – a firm at the cutting edge of what is currently a very dynamic market segment. I look forward to working alongside Jamie and the rest of the team,” he said.

Chaucer is a specialty (re)insurance group that collaborates with brokers, coverholders, and clients to support business operations globally. The company offers its services through Lloyd’s of London and other markets.
