In Vietnam, Naidoo helped grow the number of agents to over 20,000 in 2015, which Manulife said is a record number for the country.

Commenting on his appointment, Naidoo said: "With a rapidly growing middle class and a low insurance penetration rate in the world’s fourth most populous country, there are huge opportunities for Manulife to help Indonesian families achieve their dreams and aspirations."

Naidoo added: "It’s an exciting time to be leading Manulife Indonesia, and I am looking forward to making it easy for customers to do business with us. We will continue to launch innovative new solutions and further develop our digital capabilities."

Before joining Manulife in 2009, Naidoo worked as chief financial officer for major multinational life insurance companies in Asia. An Australian citizen, Naidoo also spent over 12 years with ANZ Banking Group in Australia, where he worked in corporate and retail banking.
