Aon taps 13-year vet to head up professional services

Global brokerage Aon has tapped a 13-year company veteran to head up its professional services group in the Global Broking Centre.

Alicia Goosen has been appointed head of its professional services group, in the London Global Broking Centre. Goosen will report into Aon’s head of product specialties & financial & professional services group, John Brosnan.

In her new role, Goosen will work alongside local and international teams to support Aon’s Professional Services growth within the London market. She will be responsible for accelerating the development of specialist solutions to address the dynamic needs of law, accounting, consulting, and design firms.

Goosen has been at Aon since 2011 and previously worked as the head of Commercial Risk and chief broking officer for Aon in South Africa. Prior to that, Goosen led the Financial & Professional Services Group locally and spent more than 15 years at Marsh, where she worked as a divisional executive.

Brosnan, head of product specialties & financial & professional services group at Aon, said: “Alicia brings extensive leadership experience to the role, and it is fantastic to see that we can mobilise such high calibre talent globally across the organisation. Her expertise and principal role in overseeing a large broking team and experience of direct client management, will be highly valuable in the new post.”
