With over 28 years’ experience in the insurance industry, Kent has encompassed leadership and technical roles across Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand and Hong Kong.
Commenting on the appointment Alan Wilson, regional CEO, MSIG Holdings Asia said: “We are pleased to have Philip lead MSIG Hong Kong as CEO. His accomplishments and track record of building strong partner relationships and inspiring colleagues make him an ideal leader.
