Singapore/ London:

Howden, the international insurance broker, today announces that it has promoted Jenny Lim to the role of CEO, Howden Insurance Brokers (S.) Pte. Ltd. effective 1 May.

Singapore is an important market for Howden and it is Howden’s largest retail broking operation in Asia, and it is home to Howden Asia’s regional headquarters.

In her new role, Lim will continue to drive Howden Singapore’s ambitious growth agenda by building on its strong reputation and empowering her colleagues to deliver innovative and seamless solutions for clients.

Since Lim joined Howden, alongside incumbent CEO, Goh Chye Huat – who will remain regional CEO for Howden Asia – and three other executive directors – Gerard Lee, Primus Lee and Gracy Khoo – the business has experienced transformational, mostly organic, growth.

Howden Asia’s growth has been driven by embedding specialities – including Financial Lines, Employee Benefits and Real Estate, investing in data and technology, and always focusing on building partnerships with clients for the long-term.
