Aon adjusts regional Reinsurance Solutions leadership

Broking giant Aon has followed on from a recent reshuffle of its global Reinsurance Solutions division leadership, with changes to its regional leaders as well, as it continues to focus on delivering greater client choice and innovation.

In the announcement of a global leadership reshuffle earlier this week, Tim Ronda, President of Reinsurance Solutions’ U.S. business, was announced as taking on the role of Global Geographic Leader, to oversee Reinsurance Solutions’ regional capabilities worldwide.

The new structure announced today, of regional reinsurance broking leaders, will sit beneath Ronda, who will lead a drive to add continued scale, while focusing on unique regional trends and client reinsurance needs.

George Attard becomes CEO of Reinsurance Solutions APAC, to lead client growth in the region, with Jeremy Goodman named APAC President as well.

For the Reinsurance Solutions EMEA region, Alfonso Valera and Tomas Novotny will lead as co-CEOs, with Richard Posgate named Head of Strategy and Alan Gregory becoming EMEA Chairman.

In the UK, Rupert Moore will become CEO, UK Reinsurance Solutions, effective from 1st January subject to regulatory approval. Moore will also act as Executive Sponsor for Japanese clients globally, having been a Japanese region leader for Aon’s reinsurance business before.

Nick Frankland takes on the UK President position for Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions, on top of his new role as Chairman of the Insurance Consulting Group, which was announced earlier this week.

For Canada and The Caribbean, David Sloan is retiring from his roles as CEO and Chairman of the region after 38 years at the end of 2021. Sloan will remain at the firm as an advisor for a further 18 months to ensure a smooth transition with clients.

As from the beginning of 2022, this region will be led by Matt Wolfe, who will assume the role of Canada CEO, and Steve Bonifacio, who has been named Caribbean CEO.

George deMenocal continues as CEO of U.S. Reinsurance Solutions for Aon, while Pablo Munoz remains LatAm CEO, Paula Ferreira continues as LatAm President, and Andrew Laing continues as CEO of Facultative.

Ronda commented on the changes, “Our reinsurance capabilities have been built on the strong foundations of local knowledge and market connections, underpinned by a global focus to ensure we are sharing best practices and helping to drive growth for insurers in each region we serve.

“Whether enhancing their property catastrophe programs or navigating new forms of volatility around casualty, climate and cyber, our new solutions for insurers will reach every corner of the globe, with the benefit of regional expertise. This new team of regional leaders will benefit from the prior leadership, and the firm’s very deep existing and diverse talent base, as we continue to bring together proven talent from across the firm to support our clients’ needs.”
