According to MSIG, global brokers account for about 50 percent of the group’s international business gross written premium (GWP). A key objective for Schaap will be to generate analytics that identify growth opportunities, reinforce existing partnerships and enable closer alignment between global, regional and local initiatives.
«Brokers are key strategic partners in our international growth journey,» said Ema. «By establishing this new global role, we aim to build stronger, data-driven partnerships that align our collective strengths across markets and deliver greater value to our clients and stakeholders.»
MSIG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance with its Asia headquarters in Singapore. Globally, it has a presence in 48 countries and regions with about 40,000 employees.
