Dear Colleagues & Friends,

Alumni for Life is an informal group created for individuals who share a common thread – we have all worked in or currently still working in AIA or AIG group. We have all travelled in the insurance road and as we continue in our journey, life takes on a broader dimension and perspective.

The purpose of the informal group is to provide a platform for communication and network. It can also be a reference station for precious memories of times together. Colleagues who have contributed in sharing their experiences, thoughts, insights and wisdom will undoubtedly provide some elements of encouragement, inspiration and motivation to colleagues and friends.

For a start, the blog contains the introduction and a post on “A Tribute to the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore.


Happy Memories and Reading!

AIA RECORD! 


Mr. Edmund Tse, the current Non-Executive Chairman of AIA is the longest serving individual in AIA. A sixty years of loyal service since 1961! 

To understand Edmund's contributions you have to go back to history. 

The old AIA is when AIA was the wholly owned subsidiary of AIG, which was the largest diversified financial institution in the world. Edmund started in junior management and rose to the position of Chairman and CEO of AIA group and Sr. Vice-Chairman of Life (Worldwide Life operations) and Board Director of AIG. 

In  2011, the New AIA emerged when AIG sold its entire Life business in Asia, AIA became a public company listed in Hong Kong Stock Exchange. 

Edmund with his bridge-like acumen, Western-trained business methods and Chinese strategic mentality, gives him a broad perspective on leadership. 

 I belong to the old AIA, but managed to stay connected through the social platforms and reunion gatherings. Edmund and Tan Hak Leh(AIA Regional CEO) were in attendance at our 2019 reunion gathering at SMU, Singapore. 

 Congratulations to Edmund Tse for such extraordinary achievements and  outstanding leadership!
