VIG Re has announced that it has fulfilled all applicable requirements, including the required regulatory approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), to establish its Representative Office in Singapore. This marks a significant milestone in the company's strategic expansion into Asia under its VIGRe28 strategy.
The Singapore Representative Office will serve as a liaison and coordination point between VIG Re’s headquarters and its stakeholders in the region. The office will be led by Wilfrid Goh, who has been appointed Chief Representative Asia Pacific. With more than 20 years of reinsurance experience across Asia, Mr Goh brings deep expertise in treaty underwriting, client management, and public sector solutions. He will report to Managing Director Marc Haushofer, who is responsible for VIG Re’s Asia-Pacific portfolio and is leading the company’s pan-Asian expansion.
VIG Re Chairman and CEO Tobias Sonndorfer commented on the news: “This step reflects our strategic ambition under VIGRe28 to build a footprint in the Asia Pacific. Establishing a representative presence in Singapore allows us to elevate our engagement with the region.”
