McGill and Partners snaps up Aon veteran to help drive growth with C-suite

Specialist re/insurance broker  McGill and Partners has hired an Aon veteran to take up the position of deputy chief financial officer to support its expansion and growth plans.

Dominic Mignon is joining McGill and Partners after over 23 years at Aon (and Benfield).

Mignon has nearly 25 years’ experience in the industry, having started his career at Benfield delivering impact initially in the reinsurance business (CFO International Aon Benfield 2010-2014). Mignon later served as deputy CFO, Risk Solutions and UK CFO at Aon with a broader remit for all Aon Solution lines, and finally CFO of human capital at Aon. He also previously held the role of Honorary Treasurer at the Insurance Institute of London between 2016 and 2021.

In addition to his extensive re/insurance experience, Mignon spent three years in Chicago as the chief of staff to Aon CEO Greg Case, where he supported on the design and launch of Aon’s New Ventures Group, a unit focusing on the rapid incubation and delivery of new high-impact sources of value for clients.

Mignon is also a member of the advisory board of RATL (Race Action Through Leadership), focusing on elevating ethnic groups that are underrepresented in the insurance industry by working with C-suites to drive action.

Mignon’s role at McGill and Partners will be focused on leading and managing the finance function supporting the business’ expansion and growth plans.

Steve McGill, CEO of McGill and Partners, said: “With a professional background spanning nearly twenty-five years and strong expertise both within the finance function and in wider strategic business leadership, Dominic will be a valuable asset to the team. As a young business we always have our eyes on the future, and Dominic will play an important role in our growth plans moving forward.”

Mignon commented: “ McGill and Partners offered a unique opportunity for me, and I am really excited be part of building a business that is set apart from the rest of the industry. This new opportunity affords me the ability to work alongside innovative and talented colleagues and play a role in supporting future business growth, ensuring it is managed in a disciplined manner and focussed on data driven insights.”
