VIG Re, the reinsurance arm of Vienna Insurance Group, has received the required regulatory approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and fulfilled applicable requirements to establish its Representative Office in Singapore.
As previously reported, the office will be led by Wilfrid Goh, who has been appointed Chief Representative Asia Pacific (APAC).
The Singapore office will serve as a liaison and coordination point between VIG Re’s headquarters and its regional stakeholders.
Goh has over two decades of reinsurance experience across Asia, with deep expertise in treaty underwriting, client management, and public sector solutions.
He will report to Marc Haushofer, Managing Director, who is responsible for VIG Re’s APAC portfolio and is leading the company’s pan-Asian expansion.
This newly established office marks a significant milestone in the reinsurer’s strategic expansion into Asia under its VIGRe28 strategy.
Tobias Sonndorfer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, VIG Re, commented, “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.”
