We are delighted to announce that Tan Suee Chieh has been confirmed as the next IFoA president-elect. He will assume his new position in June 2019, when John Taylor takes over the president role from Jules Constantinou, and will take on the role of president in June 2020. He is based in Singapore, and will be the IFoA's first Asian president.

Tan Suee Chieh graduated from the London School of Economics, after which he worked for Prudential for 20 years in a variety of roles in London, Malaysia and Singapore. These roles included CEO at Prudential Singapore and regional managing director at Prudential Asia. After a stint in organisational psychology, he returned to the insurance industry as CEO of NTUC Income, a leading composite insurer in Singapore; he eventually became group CEO of the holding entity NTUC Enterprise, stepping down in 2017.

In addition to being a Council member of the IFoA, Tan Suee Chieh holds a number of non-executive roles in academic institutions and voluntary organisations.

Jules Constantinou, IFoA president, said: "It is with great pleasure that we welcome Tan Suee Chieh to the presidential team. From the very start of his career he has been an active supporter of the actuarial profession across the globe. His expertise will be invaluable as we continue to encourage our members and all actuaries to step out of the shadows and show how our work has influence and impact across a variety of industries."

Tan Suee Chieh said:"I am very proud of my career as an actuary and the work I have done in the insurance industry. It has been hugely rewarding. I am very pleased that my peers elected me to this role. It gives me the opportunity to support the profession across geographical boundaries and its continuing efforts in reinvention to meet the needs of business and society in a sustainable manner. As we move into the future, we will continue to adapt and transform, to ensure we succeed and thrive in a digital age."
