Chubb announced the appointment of Edward Ler on Monday as the new Country President for its general insurance business in Korea.
Mr. Ler replaces Edward Kopp, who was recently appointed as the new Country President for Chubb's general insurance business in Thailand, says a media-outreach statement.
Mr. Ler joined Chubb in 2013 as Senior Vice President and Regional Head of Personal Lines, which includes oversight for Motor, Residential, High Net Worth and Specialty Personal Lines. During 2014-2016, in addition to his business leadership role, he was concurrently President Director for Chubb in Indonesia. Mr. Ler's 15-year career in the insurance industry spans a variety of managerial roles covering the Asia Pacific, the Middle East and European markets.
In his new capacity, Mr. Ler will continue to report to Paul McNamee, Chubb's Regional President for Asia Pacific.
