Aon beefs up APAC reinsurance leadership amid ‘significant’ market volatility

Global re/insurance broker  Aon has bolstered its reinsurance solutions leadership in Asia Pacific to further grow the business as well as support clients navigate “significant global and regional volatility”.

The broker has appointed two new leaders within its reinsurance solutions APAC team.

Robert De Souza – currently reinsurance solutions’ CEO of Australia and New Zealand and chairman of APAC – will become reinsurance solutions’ president of APAC, effective January 1, 2023. The move follows the appointment of Jeremy Goodman as UK president of reinsurance solutions, and his associated move from Singapore to London.

In his new role, he will focus on supporting clients across the region, helping them make better decisions and driving the business strategic growth priorities.

John Carroll, head of treaty Australia and New Zealand for reinsurance solutions, will succeed De Souza as reinsurance solutions’ CEO of Australia and New Zealand, and will join the reinsurance solutions APAC executive committee. Carroll will take responsibility for leading Aon’s business in the region, delivering on strategic priorities and helping clients mitigate risk and access capital.

De Souza and Carroll will report to George Attard, reinsurance solutions’ CEO of APAC.

Attard said: “We are pleased to announce Rob’s and John’s new roles within our Asia Pacific team. They are both highly experienced and proven professionals, with the requisite skills to take business results and innovation to the next level, while helping our clients build resilience and navigate significant global and regional volatility. In 2022, we have continued to strengthen our business and a key part of this success is building a team that inspires and energises each other to create differentiated solutions for clients and deliver the exceptional level of service our clients demand.”
