Insurance Asia Awards 2024 spotlights groundbreaking innovation in pioneering solutions

Winning companies were honoured at the Awards Dinner on 9 July 2024.

The Insurance Asia Awards, the most prestigious awards programme in the Asia Pacific region, recognised and celebrated insurance companies that have achieved outstanding milestones, set new benchmarks, and demonstrated remarkable innovation in the industry.

With emerging risks and evolving customer expectations, innovation is crucial for insurers to stay competitive and deliver exceptional value. By embracing new technologies and approaches, insurers can meet customer needs and unlock new opportunities for growth.

Celebrating exceptional insurers that kept pace in the competitive landscape, the Insurance Asia Awards marked its ninth year with a spectacular Awards Dinner held on 9 July 2024 at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore.

This year's event highlighted the exceptional hard work, dedication, and creativity of companies that have risen to the challenges of the industry. It honoured the innovative spirit of the insurance sector, showcasing companies that have redefined traditional boundaries through groundbreaking initiatives and made a profound impact on their customers.

Recognised for his exceptional leadership in Peak Reinsurance Company Limited, Franz-Josef Hahn was named CEO of the Year at this year’s awards ceremony.

“I feel honoured to receive this award. Thank you very much to the judges for awarding me this. This award goes to the leader, but a leader without a team is nothing. A leader without the trust of his clients is nothing. So I want to thank my team for the continuous pressure they put on in order to get better and better, to relentlessly work, stay focussed, and stay entrepreneurial. I want to also thank all of our clients who have always been extending trust and their belief to us,” said Hahn.

The distinguished panel of judges for this year’s awards included: Anita (Sun-Young) Bong, EY Asia-Pacific Insurance Sector Leader; EY Korea Financial Services Consulting Leader, EY; Frank Dubois, Partner, Head of Insurance, KPMG Singapore; Steven Goh, Partner, Head of Insurance Audit, KPMG Singapore; Lim Siang Thnia, Insurance Sector Leader, Deloitte Southeast Asia; Anupam Sahay, Former Managing Director and Senior Partner; Head of the Asia-Pacific Insurance Practice, Boston Consulting Group (BCG); and Dr. Henrik Naujoks, Senior Partner, Head of the Asia-Pacific Financial Services Practice, Bain & Company.

These experts meticulously reviewed and evaluated the entries to ensure that the winners truly represent the pinnacle of excellence in the insurance industry.

Congratulations to all the winners for their exceptional achievements and contributions to the industry.
