He will be responsible for developing innovative solutions for clients across the globe.

O’Neil comes into this role with over 27 years of experience in the marine insurance industry. As Aon’s marine hull and liability leader in the US, he was previously responsible for the growth of the department.

In prior roles, O’Neil was responsible for the design, placement and handling of medium to large risk management programs, predominantly for marine industry companies.
