Aon forms EMEA M&A and transaction solutions advisory board
Professional services firm Aon has formed its EMEA M&A and transaction solutions advisory board. The new advisory board will support the growth and development of Aon’s M&A practice across the UK and EMEA, as it continues to expand its client offerings to include solutions for intellectual property, cyber security and digital performance, retirement, benefits, talent and compensation, structured credit, tax and litigation risks, ESG and more.
The advisory board will provide counsel to Aon’s clients and its internal team as it continues to expand beyond its current areas of expertise, which include transaction solutions such as warranty and indemnity insurance (W&I), tax insurance and risk and insurance due diligence, into areas such as cyber and intellectual property (IP).
John Cullen, chief executive officer of Aon’s commercial risk, heath and affinity business in EMEA, will serve as chair of the advisory board. All members of the board are senior executives with over 20 years’ experience in M&A and have held senior leadership positions at professional services firms.
Appointees include Andrew Ballheimer, former global managing partner at Allen & Overy; Claudio Feser, senior partner emeritus and senior advisor at McKinsey & Company; and Robin Lawther, an experienced non-executive director currently serving on the boards of Nordea, Ashurst LLP and UK Government Investments, the corporate finance and corporate governance arm of the UK Government under Her Majesty’s Treasury.
Alistair Lester, CEO of M&A and transaction solutions in EMEA, said: “The formation of the M&A and transaction solutions advisory board marks an important step in accelerating the execution of our strategy, as we continue our evolution to become a trusted and broad-based adviser in the M&A and private equity ecosystems. Our clients are facing more challenges—and a more volatile, evolving marketplace—than ever before. While Aon remains committed to continuing to serve clients in the areas in which we have established a market-leading practice, we are also leading the development of new service offerings to meet all our clients’ needs, as evidenced by our successful work in the cyber and IP space.”
John Cullen, chairman of the Aon EMEA M&A and transaction solutions advisory board, added: “I am excited to chair a board comprised of such a talented, diverse and accomplished group of individuals, whose decades of leadership and deep expertise will prove invaluable for progressing and executing Aon’s growth and innovation agenda on behalf of our clients.”
