Now Health International has appointed Matt Pinckard as general manager of its Singapore operations.
Reporting into Rob McIntyre, chief distribution officer at Now Health International, Pinckard (pictured) will lead the company’s business in the region and its drive to introduce new innovations and technologies in the health insurance sector, the insurer said.
This includes addressing the need among family offices, financial advisory firms and brokers in Singapore for affordable regional and international medical insurance plans.
Pinckard joins the international private medical insurance (IPMI) provider from his previous role as senior manager at Singlife with Aviva and brings more than 16 years’ experience in the insurance industry, which includes roles at Aviva and Zurich.
Zahir Sharif, CEO of Now Health International, said: “The IPMI landscape continues to change at pace, particularly when it comes to the central role technology plays in service delivery to both our intermediary partners and our members, and no more so than in Singapore.
“Matt’s experience in the sector and specifically in Singapore is second to none, and I’m delighted to welcome him to our team as we continue to explore growth opportunities in the Singapore market.”
Pinckard added: “Technology is reshaping the health insurance marketplace, ensuring providers can cater to the needs of both broker partners and their members, and Now Health International is at the forefront of this evolution.
“I’m delighted to join Now Health International and look forward to helping the business meet and exceed its objectives both locally and globally in the coming months and years.”
