SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Now Health International, the award-winning international private medical insurance (IPMI) provider, has appointed Matt Pinckard as General Manager of its Singapore operations to lead the company’s business in the region.
Reporting into Rob McIntyre, Now Health International’s Chief Distribution Officer, Pinckard will lead the company’s drive to introduce new innovations and technologies in the health insurance sector, building on its recent years of growth. This includes addressing the need among family offices, financial advisory firms and brokers in Singapore for affordable regional and international medical insurance plans.
