Ng, who holds a Bachelor of Mathematics degree in actuarial science and statistics from the University of Waterloo in Canada, is a fellow of the Society of Actuaries.

"My immediate priority will be to listen and learn by spending time with our people, customers, and partners to develop a deeper understanding of the Korean market and the significant opportunities ahead," Ng stated. Fisher Zhang, the regional chief executive and chairman of the board of AIA Life Korea, described Ng as "a highly experienced AIA leader with a strong track record across strategy, transformation, and financial leadership."

"Korea is an important market for AIA, and I am confident that Leo will work closely with the AIA Korea team to drive growth and success," Zhang added.
