Singapore, 8 September 2025: Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK), a leading specialist insurer, today announces it has appointed Phoebe Liew as Special Risks Underwriter, focusing on Credit and Political Risk, as it continues to strengthen its APAC offering. She takes up her new role with immediate effect and will report to Cindy Gunawan, Head of Special Risks, Asia Pacific.

Liew brings nearly a decade of credit and political risk experience to her new role. She joins from Texel in Singapore where she served, most recently, as Credit and Political Risk Director. In this role, she was responsible for managing client risk in multiple high-profile deals across a range of sectors and transaction types, including trade finance, structured trade, project finance, renewables, infrastructure, asset finance, commodities and most recently fund financing. Prior to this, she held senior operational roles at China National Building Materials Group in Singapore. In addition to her professional accomplishments, she currently serves as the Chairperson of the International Project Finance Association (IPFA) Future Leaders Network in Singapore.

This appointment reflects TMK’s increased appetite for credit risk and growing client demand for cover in a volatile geopolitical landscape.  

Cindy Gunawan, Head of Special Risks, Asia Pacific at TMK, said:

“We're excited to welcome Phoebe to our Special Risks team. Her extensive experience across credit and political risk, combined with her deep understanding of trade finance, makes her an excellent addition as we continue to grow our portfolio. Our Singapore business has grown rapidly driven by a relentless focus on attracting leaders who have the requisite expertise and reputation and commercial acumen to maintain our growth momentum. Phoebe's proven track record in managing complex deals, building strong client relationships and delivering business growth will be invaluable as we continue to expand our offering in response to client demand.”

Phoebe Liew, Special Risks Underwriter, said:

“I am delighted to join Cindy and the team at TMK to continue to grow the special risks offering. TMK in Singapore has made a name for itself as a centre for empowered underwriting backed by an exceptional local claims team. I am looking forward to furthering this reputation and supporting the business with its ambitious growth plans.”
