Jeff will focus on expanding and enhancing Binance’s product suite, ensuring it remains at the forefront of building the future of the blockchain and Web3 space.

Jeff Li brings over 16 years of combined experience in both Web2 and Web3 product leadership and software engineering. Most recently, he served as VP, Global Head of CeFi Product at a major crypto exchange, where he led its global product teams on a wide range of centralized finance (CeFi) products in the areas of growth, retail and institutional, artificial intelligence (AI), and more. Prior to that, Jeff was at TikTok, where he served as the Director of Product and Global Head of TikTok Money and Compliance Platform, overseeing a team of product managers and collaborating with other cross-functional partners to drive growth and revenue at scale. His extensive background also includes product development and software engineering roles at globally renowned brands such as Instagram, Twitch, and Oracle.

Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Jeff to the Binance team. He brings a wealth of experience in product development from some of the world’s most renowned tech companies. Throughout his career, he has consistently demonstrated his ability to deliver innovative solutions in dynamic and emerging industries, making him an ideal fit for our mission here at Binance.

His focus will be on ensuring that Binance stays true to its commitment of building products that will bring mass adoption to crypto and lower the barriers to entry to Web3 technology.

Jeff Li, VP of Product at Binance, shared: “Throughout my career, my primary motivation has always been to create innovative products that both excite and benefit people. This passion made joining Binance a natural choice for me. I am deeply impressed by how Binance has been able to build an extensive blockchain ecosystem in seven short years while upholding a user-focused philosophy in all that it does. With global crypto adoption still below 10 percent, I recognize that there is still much to be done to achieve Binance’s vision of increasing the freedom of money globally. And, I am eager to be part of Binance’s exceptionally talented team to help the industry grow, discover new use cases, and benefit more users worldwide.”

“Blockchain, combined with emerging technologies like AI, has the potential to significantly improve financial access and transform our daily lives. As an industry leader, Binance is uniquely positioned to unlock this potential and demonstrate its benefits to users. We aim to do that by continuing to build industry-first products that are easily understandable and accessible for both new and experienced users, making everyday applications of crypto and Web3 more seamless,” added Jeff.

Key to this growth is an ambitious economic diversification agenda which is driving investment across a range of non-oil sectors.

Bahrain is one of the most diversified economies in the Gulf, with the non-oil sector contributing 84% to its GDP in 2023. As the Kingdom continues to prioritize investments in high-potential sectors such as financial services, ICT, manufacturing, logistics and tourism, it is also focusing on developing its human capital and furthering its digital transformation agenda. Bahrain’s forward-looking policies, strategic location, and business-friendly environment have made it one of the region’s most attractive destinations for international investors looking to expand into the wider GCC market.

The Kingdom’s role in driving regional collaboration and co-investments will be highlighted at Gateway Gulf, with discussions on how these partnerships can further unlock sustainable economic growth.

Insurance Third Party Administrator Market Drivers, Challenges, Future Outlook and Opportunities:

In terms of revenue, North America dominated the insurance third-party administrator market share, followed by APAC and Europe. The insurance third-party administrator market in North America is subsegmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US is anticipated to hold the largest market share in the region in 2031. In the US, there are three main insurance sectors: property/casualty (P/C), i.e., mainly auto, home, and commercial insurance; life/annuity, mainly life insurance and annuity products; and private health insurance. Such a vast industry generates the demand for third-party administrator services in the country. The third-party administrators in the country are engaged in various strategies to reach more customers. For example, in January 2024, Rokstone, a specialty insurance and reinsurance managing general agency and a part of the Aventum Group, launched a new third-party administrator service based in Kentucky. Rokstone’s new Verus TPA manages Rokstone’s agricultural claims in the US.

As countries grow and people gain more discretionary income, they are more likely to be able to afford and recognize the value of insurance products such as life, health, and property insurance plans. This is especially true for a burgeoning middle class striving for financial stability. People are becoming increasingly conscious of the possibility of financial loss due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, accidents, or natural catastrophes. As a result, individuals, businesses, and other entities seek insurance policies to safeguard themselves from the repercussions, which fuels the demand for insurance solutions that can assist in managing these risks. According to the Federal Insurance Office (FIO), the US had 667 licensed L&H insurers, 2,656 P&C insurers, and 1,355 health in 2022. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the insurance industry is one of the premium segments seeing significant expansion in India. This upward trend in the insurance sector can be ascribed to rising revenues and increased awareness of the profession. India has the sixth-largest life insurance market among emerging economies, growing at a pace of 32–34% per year. In recent years, the industry has experienced vigorous competition among rival businesses. Moreover, the insurance sector faces numerous constraints, including highly dynamic regulatory complications, which present organizations with considerable threats to financial and operational stability. Thus, the ongoing proliferation of the insurance industry is creating opportunities for the growth of the insurance third-party administrator market.
