HDI Global said Silton, with tenure since joining the company in 2015, has notably elevated the property portfolio and transformed the Singapore branch as its managing director since 2017.

Cochrane, presently Liability Underwriting Manager, Northern Region, will take over as Underwriting Manager Liability Australasia in Sydney starting January 2024.

Cochrane, instrumental in HDI Global's liability growth in Australia, brings extensive experience since joining in 2019.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
