Allianz Malaysia Berhad has announced the appointment of Giulio Slavich as the new Chief Executive Officer of its life insurance subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Malaysia Berhad, effective 1 January 2026. Slavich will succeed Charles Ong, who is retiring on 31 December 2025 after more than 30 years in the insurance industry.
Slavich joined Allianz Malaysia as Chief Financial Officer in 2022, where he successfully led financial reporting and sustainability initiatives, including the implementation of IFRS 9 and 17. He also spearheaded the company’s agency transformation programme. Before his tenure at Allianz Malaysia, Slavich was the Global Head of the Centre for Competence for Life & Health at Allianz SE Group and led the Life segment in Allianz Italy.
Sean Wang, CEO of Allianz Malaysia, expressed confidence in Slavich’s leadership, stating, “Giulio brings a wealth of experience to his new role, with 25 years of experience in the insurance industry. His career reflects a deep understanding of global insurance dynamics and adaptability across large insurance groups.”
Anusha Thavarajah, Regional CEO of Allianz Asia Pacific, highlighted the significance of Slavich’s appointment, noting, “Giulio’s appointment reflects our strong talent pipeline and commitment to developing leaders who will lead, shape the industry, and drive long-term, sustainable growth.”
The transition marks a new chapter for Allianz Life, as the company continues to build on its strong foundation in Malaysia. Charles Ong’s leadership has been instrumental in establishing a resilient business, and he will continue to contribute in an advisory role.
