Aon shakes up global reinsurance clients management team

Re/insurance broker Aon has made several organisational changes within its global reinsurance clients team co-led by Brad Melvin and Bruce Selby Bennett, in a move it hopes will help better align and integrate with the wider firm, and increase value to its clients.

The team, part of Aon’s reinsurance solutions business, was launched in 2014 to serve its large and most complex clients. It currently supports 25 of the largest global insurers, according to the company.

As part of the changes, Melvin has been appointed to a leadership position within Aon where he will be working with regional property and casualty insurers on growth, profitability and other emerging issues.
He will continue to work closely with reinsurance solutions and his existing reinsurance clients and prospects. He will report to Michael Moran, CEO of Aon Inpoint and Andy Marcell, CEO of Aon’s reinsurance solutions business.

Bennett will remain the leader of global reinsurance clients and is promoted to chairman of its new executive team, reporting to Marcell.

The executive team has been created to lead coordinated client strategies across the firm and ensure alignment and integration across the firm’s teams and regions. This team comprises James Buchannan, Jeremy Goodman, Frank Hand, Andrew Laing, Andrew Secker and Meredith Swisha.

Paul Martin will remain operations director of the global reinsurance clients team and he will further support the team’s development and implementation of ongoing strategies.

Marcell said: “We are increasing our investment in the Global Reinsurance Clients function, which represents a very important segment of our business. By delivering even greater resources, as evidenced by the quality of the new executive team, we will bring increased value to clients utilizing services, products and capabilities across the scope of Aon’s global business.”

Bennett added: “Since its inception five years ago, the Global Reinsurance Clients team has enjoyed impressive growth and success. The increased investment we have made through assembling a group of executive team senior leaders enables us to align and integrate with the wider firm and deliver even more value to clients.”
