AIG reveals major appointment for Asia Pacific

The new Head of Brokerage Distribution and Client Management for Asia Pacific at AIG, Rudi H. Spaan, has stated that one of his main goals is to assist clients and brokers to identify, mitigate and transfer risk in “an ever more complex global economy”.

“We aim to make the world a safer place by closely engaging our top clients and assisting them in their risk management,” Spaan said.

Spaan, who has been with AIG in various roles since 1992, said he was “truly excited” with his new role as he believed that AIG had many opportunities to further strengthen its broker relationships and to optimise its total account solutions in its target industries.

President and CEO of Asia Pacific, Jose Hernandez, said that the appointment was an important part of AIG’s regional strategy. “With our focus on ‘One AIG’, our regional brokerage distribution team will seek to optimise the sales of all of our commercial, consumer and life products,” he said.

Spaan will be responsible for managing AIG’s broker distribution partners and major account relationships throughout the region. He has served as Executive Vice President, Commercial Division for APAC, since 2009, and will remain based in Singapore.
