Bupa Asia Pacific CEO, Hisham El-Ansary, to step down

Bupa is announcing that Hisham El-Ansary, Bupa’s Chief Executive Officer for the Asia Pacific (APAC) Market Unit, will step down at the end of March 2023.

After nearly 15 years, Hisham has decided it is the right time to start the process of transitioning to a new leader of Bupa APAC. 

Hisham joined Bupa in Australia in 2008 as Chief Financial Officer of what was then our Australia and New Zealand Market Unit. He was appointed CEO of the Market Unit in April 2019, having undertaken a number of senior executive roles within Bupa.

Bupa Group CEO, Iñaki Ereño, said: “Hisham has made a significant and lasting contribution to Bupa during his years with us. Throughout this time, he has led with clear purpose and strong conviction; a true exemplar of our values as he continued to evolve the culture and engagement of our people. On behalf of all of us at Bupa, I wish Hisham and his family all the very best.”

Bupa has begun an executive search process to find Hisham’s replacement and expect to provide further information ahead of his departure in March 2023.
