NorthStandard has appointed Michael Hustler as its new Head of Asia-Pacific, effective 27 October 2025, to drive the insurer’s strategic expansion across the region.
Based in Singapore, Hustler will oversee operations in key Asian and Pacific markets — including Tokyo, Imabari, Shanghai, Seoul, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Nelson — and report directly to Chief Strategy Officer Ed Davies.
A 16-year veteran of the company, Hustler previously led Underwriting for the Asia-Pacific division. He succeeds David Roberts, who will leave NorthStandard in February 2026.
Davies praised Hustler’s “risk management expertise and strong member focus,” emphasizing his vital role in strengthening the insurer’s footprint across Asia.
Hustler commented, “It’s an exciting time for NorthStandard in Asia Pacific. I’m honored to lead our team as we continue to expand our market-leading services.”
Managing Director Jeremy Grose added that the appointment reinforces the company’s “commitment to growth in dynamic Asia-Pacific economies” and supports its core P&I and FD&D insurance strategies.
