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.
In his previous capacities, Aboo was regional director of Allianz Trade for multinationals between 2016 and 2021, where he led the Asia-Pacific business for large-corporates and multinational companies. He also held the role of commercial director at Allianz Trade for Asean from 2012 to 2016.
“Aboo is a multi-product and multi-country trade credit insurance expert,” Flanagan says. “With 10 years of exposure in Asia-Pacific alone and having led business growth from SMEs [small and medium-sized enterprises] to multinational companies, his successful track record has vaulted him to the region’s top commercial position.”
