HONG KONG, July 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb Life today announced that Jack Chang has been appointed President of the company's life insurance operations in Taiwan that were recently acquired from Cigna. Mr. Chang is currently President of Chubb Life Taiwan. In his new role, Mr. Chang will have executive operating responsibility for Cigna Taiwan and will lead the integration, subject to regulatory approval, of the Chubb Life and Cigna Taiwan insurance operations in this market.

I look forward to working with Jack and welcome all of our new colleagues from Cigna at this exciting moment for our business in Taiwanand across the region."
