Swiss Re Corporate Solutions has appointed Fred Kleiterp, a Swiss Re executive, as Head of Asia Pacific. He will move from his current position as Head of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in Zurich. He is based in Singapore and assumed his new post as of September second.

Kleiterp will be responsible “for continuing the implementation of the company’s expansion strategy in Asia Pacific, a region he knows well and where he achieved solid business results during his tenure as Head of EMEA & Asia Pacific for the company between 2009 and 2012,” said the announcement.

“Since 2012 he focused exclusively on EMEA, where he achieved consistent, high quality growth and built a competitive commercial insurance organization with local presence in various countries across the region.” He will maintain his current responsibilities ad interim until his successor is designated.

Prior to joining Swiss Re in 2001, Kleiterp, a Dutch national, worked for Atradius NV, the Dutch based credit insurance group, where he started as a Credit Risk Underwriter in November 1991. He earned his Master’s Degree in Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in 1991.
