Global insurance and reinsurance group Aon has announced the appointment of Winnie Loh as real estate and data centre leader for Southeast Asia, effective immediately.
Based in Singapore, Loh, who brings over 20 years of experience in the insurance sector, will lead the strategic direction and client service delivery for Aon’s real estate and data capabilities throughout South East Asia.
According to the announcement, the executive will also continue in her existing role as director within Aon’s Commercial Risk team.
This strategic move comes at a time of escalating data centre investment in Southeast Asia, which is bringing increasingly complex risk profiles across development, financing, and long-term operations.
With the sector being rapidly transformed by digitalisation, cloud adoption, artificial intelligence, and heightened resilience expectations, Loh will provide crucial, insight-led advice.
She will help investors, developers, and operators evaluate risk, enhance resilience, and make more informed decisions across the full asset lifecycle.
“Winnie’s appointment reflects both the pace of growth we’re seeing in the region and the increasing sophistication of the challenges our clients are navigating,” said Jon Pipe, head of Commercial Risk in Asia for Aon. “Her deep sector expertise and leadership will be critical as we help clients bring greater clarity to complex risk environments and align capital decisions with long-term performance.”
By integrating data centre expertise with real estate and Aon’s broader construction and infrastructure capabilities, the broker aims to strengthen its ability to support clients from early development and capital structuring to operational risk management, resilience planning and long-term performance.
Andrew Minnitt, CEO, Singapore and head of Southeast Asia for Aon, added: “As data centre investment continues to accelerate across the region, clients are looking for advisers who understand how data centres intersect with real estate, construction and broader infrastructure risks. Winnie’s appointment strengthens our regional leadership and supports our focus on delivering more integrated, lifecycle-led solutions for clients across Southeast Asia.”
Loh’s appointment underscores the Aon’s continued investment in data centres and digital infrastructure as a critical and fast-growing asset class across Southeast Asia.
