Prudential plc has announced that Regional CEO John Cai will depart the company on 31 October 2025 for personal reasons. In response, Prudential has restructured its leadership, appointing Naveen Tahilyani to expand his responsibilities to include the Southeast Asian markets of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, alongside India and Africa. Tahilyani will also lead the Agency and Health functions.
Tahilyani’s appointment leverages his extensive experience in insurance and global companies, where he has driven large-scale transformations across various markets. His notable achievements include significantly expanding an agency force in India, elevating the organisation from 17th to 3rd in retail weighted new business, and setting industry benchmarks in productivity and customer experience.
Additionally, Dennis Tan, Regional CEO for Singapore, Thailand, and Partnership Distribution, will now also oversee Vietnam and the Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar cluster. Meanwhile, Angel Ng will continue her role as Regional CEO for Greater China, Customer, Wealth, and Product.
Prudential’s leadership changes aim to ensure a smooth transition and maintain its commitment to providing accessible financial and health solutions across its markets. The company, listed on multiple stock exchanges, including Hong Kong and London, continues to focus on being a trusted partner for current and future generations.
