There are a number of differences between an insurance broker and an insurance agent or company

We are not a single insurance company’s insurance agent – instead, we work for you, providing unbiased and objective advice, pro-active solutions to understand your needs and position you to financially survive any insurable event.
Using Ease Insurance Brokers over an insurance company’s own insurance agents delivers the following:
  • Superior coverage for you and your family.
  • Insurance company-agnostic advice on all your insurance and related matters.
  • Personalised insurance solutions from up to 8 insurance companies.
  • Complete evaluation of a risk management strategy for your assets.
  • Professional ongoing management of your insurance programme
  • Support and advocacy for your insurance claims.
Understanding insurance and the reasons for choosing a broker can be complex. If you’re still on the fence about how Ease Insurance Brokers are the right option for you, give us a call. One of our team will be happy to assist.

How long have you worked with Ease Insurance, what is your role and what brought you to the company?

I’ve been with Ease Insurance since it’s beginning, helping people understand their insurance needs and looking after existing clients.  I started my career as a Corporate Accountant, and 10 years later I wanted to move into a career where I could help people realise their dreams, so I become a Mortgage Broker and helped many people become home owners.  After 8 years in this area of financial services, I moved direction, but this time it was helping people work out what insurance they should have and then putting in place excellent insurance policies for them.  I only recommend the highly rated insurance policies because having the best policy you can afford will make all of the difference when you make a claim.  My previous roles were excellent pre-requisites to the insurance world.

A bit about yourself and what you have done before coming to Ease Insurance.

I was a financial and insurance advisor in Hong Kong for more than 7 years until 2019. The insurance brokerage that I worked at was the biggest one in Hong Kong. I got my Associate Financial Planner (AFPTM) certificate in 2014. I enjoy meeting people and know new friends from my job. My first 7 years of job experience was in marketing at property developers and a health food retail company. It gave me well-developed communication skills with clients and business partners. Each time when my clients came to say thank you for getting their claims paid or a positive return from an investment, I would feel more than happy and grateful as my job really helped people around me.

Your Credentials

Associate Financial Planner (AFPTM) certificate

Master of Social Science (Corporate Communication)

Bachelor of Science (Food and Nutritional Sciences)

Do you have any hobbies/interests outside of work?
I like jogging along the seaside. During weekends in the summer, I go to the beach with my family regularly. I enjoy cooking as I love to see my beloved eat a lot of my food. I love travelling very much as I could experience different cultures and try local cuisines. Japan, Taiwan and Thailand are always my favourite places to take a break.
One thing people don’t know about you
I am a half-Taiwanese as my mum came from Taiwan. I can speak Taiwanese-tone Mandarin!
What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given
Don’t make excuses for failure, but find ways to succeed.
