Zurich appoints Head - Credit & Political Risk, Melbourne

Zurich has announced the appointment of Clive Mok as head of its Melbourne credit and political risk operations. Mok joins the Melbourne office after working for Zurich for eight years in Hong Kong. Prior to that, he held roles at QBE and Gerling.

Commenting on Mok's appointment, Zurich Global Corporate's executive general manager for Australia and New Zealand Giles Crowley said: "As the pace of globalisation increases and our customers expand into many emerging markets, we are seeing a much greater demand from our customers to protect their investments and manage their risks. Clive's appointment in Australia will enable us to meet the increasing demand in this space and give us full-time capability in Victoria as we look to grow the credit and political business in the Australia and New Zealand markets in 2016."
