Manulife Hong Kong and Macau and Chubb Life have announced senior leadership appointments in Hong Kong, with Manulife expanding its top management structure across Hong Kong and Macau and Chubb Life creating a new commercial leadership role to support growth in Greater China.

Manulife adds deputy CEO role alongside CFO position

Manulife Hong Kong and Macau has named Wilton Kee (pictured) as deputy chief executive officer while he continues to serve as chief financial officer for the Hong Kong and Macau businesses. In the combined role, Kee will work with Patrick Graham, CEO of Manulife Hong Kong and Macau, on enterprise integration and oversight of strategic and operational priorities across the two markets. He will represent the CEO on key internal committees and remain part of the senior management team for Hong Kong and Macau.

Kee will continue to lead the finance function, covering financial accounting and reporting, financial planning and analysis, treasury, corporate actuarial, capital management, asset‑liability management, and other finance‑related activities. His remit also includes distribution compensation and business intelligence, areas that link financial performance, channel economics, and business planning. Since joining Manulife in 2013, Kee has held senior positions across pricing, product, and health, including a period as chief product officer and later with additional accountability as head of health for Hong Kong and Macau.

Graham said the broader remit is intended to reflect Kee’s influence across core parts of the franchise. “Wilton is an exceptional leader whose diversified expertise, strategic vision, and ability to bring teams together have helped shape our success. From actuarial pricing and product development to expanding our health business - and more recently in his role as CFO - he has consistently reinforced our market position and financial stewardship. His expanded role reflects the meaningful impact he continues to make across our business, and I’m confident he will further enhance our execution as we advance our long‑term growth priorities,” Graham said.

Chubb Life appoints chief commercial officer for Greater China

Chubb Life has appointed Jack Jiang as chief commercial officer, effective March 1, 2026, in a newly created role designed to oversee key commercial levers across Greater China. Jiang’s responsibilities include distribution, corporate strategy, customer engagement, product development, and strategic partnerships. An early priority will be implementing Chubb Life’s growth plans in Greater China, with particular emphasis on strengthening its profile and business activity in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.

Jiang will report directly to Bryce Johns, president of Chubb Life and senior vice president, Chubb Group, and will join the Chubb Life executive committee. “We are delighted to welcome Jack to Chubb. With this newly created role and Jack’s impeccable track record, we are taking a catalytic step forward, with regard to accelerating our growth agenda,” Johns said. Jiang has more than 20 years of life insurance experience. Before joining Chubb Life, he was deputy general manager of AIA China and general manager of its Guangdong branch. His previous roles at AIA China included chief customer officer, chief partnership distribution officer, and head of high net worth. He holds both a master’s and a bachelor’s degree in law from Renmin University of China.
