The Award for Best New Product or Service of the Year went to
MetLife Asia’s first lifestyle and health plan for women, named
BEAUTIFUL. First launched in June 2015, the product was designed to
address the needs of the fast-growing 30 to 50 year old female
segment and empower them to lead beautiful and healthy lives, as
well as providing financial security and protection in case of
illness.
“BEAUTIFUL is a life-enhancing product designed specifically to
help women improve their health and lifestyle through fitness,
nutrition and beauty benefits, as well as providing the trusted
navigation of a health concierge and health recovery service when
illness strikes,” said Ralph Brunner, Chief Marketing Officer,
MetLife Asia. “We had developed the product after carefully
listening and responding to the needs, wants, fears and aspirations
of women across Asia. We are delighted to receive this award.”
Related to the Award for the Most Innovative Company of the Year
- in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, MetLife Asia was recognized
for having launched two key projects that foster and promote
innovation. The first was the establishment of its Center of
Excellence for Data Analytics (COEDA) in 2014 to transform big data
into customer insights, deliver a more holistic customer
experience, and drive improvements to business performance.
LumenLab was the second project; a Singapore based innovation space
that develops, prototypes and tests new business models, actively
seeking to disrupt and go beyond the status quo. The center fosters
a culture of innovation within MetLife in more than 10 countries
across the region and creates new businesses that address Asian
consumers’ needs in health, ageing, and wealth management.

business awards program. All individuals and organizations
worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large
