Wendy Kao Takes on New Role as Deputy Chair of +8 Partners

+8 Partners has announced the appointment of Wendy Kao as the new Deputy Chair of the organization, which functions as a global ecosystem of interconnected insurance businesses. Wendy is not new to leadership within the sector, as she has been serving as the Chief Representative of Taiwan for Rare Earth Insurance Partners since August 2018. Even in her new role, she will continue to fulfill her duties at Rare Earth Insurance Partners.

Philip Bilney, the Founder and Executive Chairman of +8 Partners, commented on her promotion, stating, "Wendy's appointment as Deputy Chair is a reflection of her significant contributions during her many years of leadership in this market.

Since transitioning into brokerage in 2000, Wendy has built a reputation as one of Taiwan’s most respected (re)insurance professionals, specializing in complex programs that span various non-life classes, both facultative and treaty. Her multilingual fluency in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Taiwanese allows her to maintain broad relationships across the Asian reinsurance market. She is widely recognized as an expert in Taiwan’s (re)insurance business, a title she has earned through her extensive work and dedication in the field.

Founded on the foundation of trust and collaboration, +8 Partners operates as a unique global ecosystem of associated insurance businesses—each providing specialized services within the insurance sector.
