Unified licence structure takes effect from April as leadership transition begins
Liberty has appointed Cynthia Sze as CEO Hong Kong, effective May 2026, subject to regulatory approval.
Sze (pictured) will lead Liberty’s unified Hong Kong business following the integration of its operations under a single licence, proposed to take effect on 1 April 2026.
The unification brings together Liberty’s personal, commercial and specialty insurance capabilities in the market under Liberty International Insurance Limited.
Based in Hong Kong, Sze will report to Matthew Jackson, president, Liberty International Insurance, Asia Pacific.
Jackson said: “2026 is a defining year for Liberty in Hong Kong and across Asia Pacific.
“Operating as one Liberty in-market enables us to deliver greater clarity, consistency and capability to our customers and distribution partners.
“Cynthia’s leadership experience and deep market expertise position us well for the next phase of growth.”
Sze brings more than 25 years of insurance industry experience across Hong Kong and North Asia.
Liberty said her focus will be on unifying teams, strengthening market execution and accelerating sustainable growth.
The integration also marks a leadership transition.
Eddie Young, vice president and chief executive of Liberty Specialty Markets, and Cynthia Leung, finance leader of Liberty Insurance, will leave the business at the end of July following completion of the unification.
Jackson said: “Eddie and Cynthia have provided dedicated leadership and stability during a significant period of change for our Hong Kong operations.
“Their contributions have been instrumental in positioning the business for successful integration and future growth. We thank them for their commitment and wish them continued success in their next chapters.”
