Chaucer Group has announced a restructuring of its Singapore leadership, appointing Les Loh as CEO Singapore with effect from 2 March 2026, subject to regulatory approval.

He succeeds Margaret To, who will transition into a consultancy role after 17 years with the business.

Alongside the change, Chaucer has appointed Dan Bryan as head of reinsurance Asia Pacific, with Bryan due to take up the role in the second quarter of 2026.

Bryan will report into Loh and will oversee Chaucer’s APAC reinsurance operations as the group looks to strengthen its regional offering.

Loh joins Chaucer from Guy Carpenter, where he was CEO for Southeast Asia and Korea.

He brings more than 27 years of experience across broking and underwriting.

He previously held senior roles at AXIS Capital, including president for APAC, and at Benfield.
