Global reinsurer SCOR has announced the appointment of Adrian Kerins as Head of Life & Health Australia & New Zealand (ANZ), effective immediately.
In his new position, Kerins will be responsible for leading SCOR’s Life & Health business across the countries, with a continued focus on delivering innovative solutions, deepening client relationships and supporting the long-term success of clients in an evolving market environment.
A qualified actuary with over two decades of experience across the insurance and reinsurance industries, Kerins initially joined SCOR in April 2025 as Head of Strategy & Growth for ANZ.
Since then, the executive has played a key role in shaping the business’s strategic direction and strengthening engagement with clients and partners across the region, the reinsurer noted.
Since August and prior to his new appointment, Kerins has served as Interim Head of ANZ, successfully leading the organisation through a period of transition while maintaining strong momentum across the market and continuing to deliver for clients.
Throughout his career, he has held a range of senior leadership, strategy and technical roles.
During his tenure at Munich Re he served as Head of Client Solutions, and at AIA Australia he worked as Head of Direct Product before being appointed Head of Corporate Development.
He also spent 14 years at CommInsure, where he held a number of positions increasing in responsibility.
Commenting on his appointment, Chloe Wang, Head of SCOR Life & Health APAC, said: “Adrian combines deep technical expertise with strong commercial acumen and a client-centric approach.
“His leadership, experience and understanding of the ANZ market make him exceptionally well positioned to lead our business with his appointment reinforcing SCOR’s commitment to the clients in the market. We look forward to continuing to support our clients and partners across the region under his leadership.”
