Loh will take office on March 2, 2026, and Bryan will take office in the second quarter of 2026.
Loh joins Chaucer from Guy Carpenter, where he served as CEO of Southeast Asia and Korea.
In his new role, Loh will report to Angus Milgate, global head of distribution, succeeding Margaret To, who will move into an advisory role.
He has over 27 years of experience in brokerage and underwriting, having served as President of Asia Pacific at AXIS Capital and as Senior Broker at Benfield.
Bryan, meanwhile, has more than two decades of experience and joins AXA XL Re from his role as Head of Asia Reinsurance.
Prior to that, Brian served as Head of Property Reinsurance at Aspen Insurance Group and as Senior Vice President at Guy Carpenter.
In Chaucer’s new role, he will oversee the company’s reinsurance business in Asia Pacific to strengthen its offering in the region.
Richard Milner, CEO of Chaucer, commented: “Chaucer places a strong emphasis on the Asia-Pacific market and is committed to attracting talent with deep regional expertise and diverse experience to best support our customers.
“We are delighted to welcome Les and Dan to the Singapore team. Their appointments strengthen Chaucer’s capabilities as we look ahead to the next phase of growth.
“We would also like to thank Margaret for her outstanding contributions over the past 17 years. Her experience and expertise as an advisor will be a tremendous resource to Les as he steps into leadership roles.”
