Founded in 1988, Ping An has built itself into Asia’s largest insurance company, selling US$110 billion of insurance premiums last year.

But while Ping An made its name in insurance, the company has also established itself as one of China’s leading digital innovators; and the key figure driving some of its cutting edge technologies is Jessica Tan.

As one of Ping An’s three co-CEOs Tan is helping the company go from strength to strength, especially in the areas of fintech and artificial intelligence. In conversation with IMD President Jean-Francois Manzoni, Tan talks about growth, change and breaking ground in new markets.
