Min joined AIG in June 2014 as a head of commercial and client and broker engagement. During this time, AIG Korea became the first foreign insurance company to join a government-led project designed to develop an environmental damage insurance product. Min also engaged in the firm’s blockchain initiatives.
He formerly served senior roles in insurance firms Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance and Gen Re.
Born in 1961, Min holds a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. He is also an associate of the Casualty Actuarial Society and Society of Actuaries.
