Allianz Trade has appointed Shan Aboo as its regional commercial director for the Asia-Pacific region, with responsibility for overseeing the trade credit insurer’s commercial activities in 12 markets in the region.

Based in Singapore, he will report to Paul Flanagan, regional CEO of Allianz Trade, Asia-Pacific.

Prior to this appointment, Aboo was CEO of Allianz Trade for Asean, overseeing six countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
