Woman Of The Year Jessica Tan: Power Play

CO-CEO & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: PING AN GROUP

Jessica is a firm believer in creating impact and value in business, which has been the cornerstone of her driving force. In 2020, Fortune magazine named her second on the Most Powerful Women International list among businesses outside of the US. Educated at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology and armed with a computer engineering degree, she started her career at consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Thirteen years later in 2013, she joined Chinese insurance company, Ping An, as group chief information officer, and was behind numerous technology breakthroughs to power the company's growth into a global financial service mammoth, including developing a telehealth app offering free online medical consultations during the peak of the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020.

Today, the insurance giant’s impressive international network of digital offerings and services is a testament to Jessica'spersistent efforts, sheer hard work mixed with resilient grit, that have successfully created value and impact for Ping An.

Jessica Tan now just wants to be happy, and also make sure that her family is happy. These are “simple aspirations” for the co-CEO and executive director of Ping An Group, who has, over the past seven years, helped steer China’s largest insurance company to record profits as well as double its share price. Her career has had only two parts, by her own admission – 13 years at McKinsey and eight at Ping An – but it has undoubtedly been a very impactful period of 21 years.
