Zurich’s Global Life Asia-Pacific CEO Dan Bardin will now take on responsibility for the Middle East. 

The expanded role will see Mr Bardin growing the Middle East market for Zurich.

The change comes as Zurich reorganises its regional CEOs for the global life business covering Europe, Asia-Pacific, North Americas and Latin America.

Mr Bardin will remain based in Hong Kong. He joined Zurich last year from Prudential, where he was CEO Insurance.
