Zhibao has built something genuinely impressive – an innovative and forward-thinking InsurTech platform that is reshaping how insurance services are delivered in China. The establishment of Zhibao Labuan is a bold and exciting step, and I look forward with great enthusiasm to contributing my experience in support of the company’s responsible, sustainable, and rewarding growth in the international reinsurance market.”
