Samantha Teo is a dynamic leader and Executive Director of PARIMA (Pan‑Asia Risk & Insurance Management Association), where she plays a pivotal role in steering professional development, organizing major events like Resilience Week, and championing initiatives such as the Women in Insurance committee—a group she helped.

Her passion for resilience extends beyond her professional life: Samantha has been a stalwart of Singapore’s women’s rugby scene since 2009, serving as co‑chair of its Women’s Development Committee and representing her country in major regional tournaments, including multiple SEA Games and Asia Rugby Sevens Series, where she’s earned silver medals and bowl championships. Through her work at PARIMA and her athletic leadership, she continues to inspire collaborative strength and growth in both the risk‑management community and women’s sports.
