Thai Insurtech Sunday Appoints JP Morgan Exec Ryuji Wolf as New CFO

Thailand-based insurtech startup Sunday announced that it has appointed Ryuji Wolf as its Chief Financial Officer and a member of its executive leadership team.

Ryuji joins from J.P. Morgan, where he served as Executive Director and led Consumer Internet & Media investment banking for the Asia Pacific region. He has worked in international markets such as New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

He has led over US$90 billion successful M&A and capital raise executions, and has advised executive management teams from emerging growth to Global Fortune 500 companies over the course of his global corporate finance career.

Additionally, Sunday also brings onboard Pawit Nopparuch as its Country Head of Product to drive the continued development and innovation of Sunday’s insurance solutions.

Pawit joins from SCB Tech X, where he served as Head of Product Discovery and UX Lead.

These senior appointments follow the insurtech’s recent US$45 million Series B raise last year with participation from new heavyweight investors such as Tencent, Vertex Growth, SCB 10X, Granite Oak and Aflac Ventures.

Since then, a string of senior executives across the region spanning from PWC, Cigna, and Avrist have joined Sunday to assume key positions in driving the group’s rapid growth notably in Thailand and Indonesia, in unique collaboration with its data, technology and insurance expert teams.
