Reilly takes on the new responsibility from 1 April 2024, while continuing to serve in his existing role of Sompo’s Tokyo office head.
In the new position, which is pending regulatory and immigration approvals, Reilly will manage all of Sompo’s insurance operations across the Asia-Pacific region.

Commenting on the appointment, Shea stated: “With more than 25 years of international experience, covering both commercial and consumer insurance, including time spent in the region, Ken is perfectly placed to oversee and execute our strategic plans in this important region for our insurance business.
