Graham Silton will replace Nicholas Cheng as MD of HDI Global Singapore from next month.

Mr Silton moved to Singapore from Sydney in April to be HDI Global’s underwriting manager for property in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region and Australia.

Before that he was property underwriting manager Australasia from 2015.

He has also held senior roles at Allianz in Australia and the UK.

Regional Head of ASEAN and Australasia Stefan Feldmann says Mr Silton has “a proven track record in the areas of industrial insurance and reinsurance”.

Mr Cheng will retire at the end of the year.
