Jaya Taylor
Group Head of Regulatory Affairs, Risk and Compliance
"SRG’s dynamic portfolio and growing international footprint marries the best of both worlds and it’s an exciting journey to be on."
About Jaya
Jaya began her career in Singapore and operations across Asia Pacific in the areas of governance, legal and compliance and working with the different segments of general insurance, life insurance, and reinsurance. In 2019 she relocated to the UK to pursue a global role with her husband and two reluctant cats in tow, and life has felt like a long business trip ever since!
Career to date
Jaya spent a good amount of time in academia and has a degree in Politics and Psychology, a degree in Law, and a Masters in Corporate and Commercial Law, before she was called to the Singapore Bar. Her foray into insurance was by chance and she has never looked back. Jaya joined SRG in January 2025 as the Group Head of Regulatory Affairs, Risk and Compliance after six years as the Global Head of Compliance at Allianz Commercial. The main trajectory in Jaya’s career was the seven years she spent as Regional Head of Legal & Compliance for Asia Pacific, where she had the opportunity to set up operations in Myanmar, South Korea and India. Those experiences were the catalyst to a true zeal for the steering of international operations and navigating the myriads of cross jurisdictional regulatory requirements. Jaya thinks SRG’s dynamic portfolio and growing international footprint marries the best of both worlds and finds it an exciting journey to be on.
Life outside of work
Having lived in Singapore, Jaya has a very spoilt palate and not having the usual Hawker Fare at ready access was a bit of a shock to the system. Since moving to the UK, Jaya has developed a mild obsession with cookbooks with the intention of mastering these dishes (but she’s mostly convinced her husband to learn them). Jaya loves travelling and spends holidays these days catching up with family and friends back home. Over the years, Jaya has dabbled with botanical art and when a half decent piece emerges, she reproduces them into cards which she occasionally sells to raise funds for the RSPCA (she loves her four-legged friends). Jaya is a nutrition geek but also loves fried chicken and good pint, so she’s often at the pub or the gym!
