Aon Benfield appoints CEO of Chile team

Aon Benfield has appointed Joe Smith as chief executive officer of its Chile team.

Smith has over 20 years’ experience gained in many global markets and operations, having previously worked in London, Tokyo and Miami. He most recently served as treaty director at Aon Benfield Chile, a role that remains within his responsibilities as CEO of Aon Benfield Chile.

Smith’s appointment is one of several changes to Aon Benfield Chile’s senior leadership structure that will enable the firm to further enhance its delivery of global resources and tools to the Chile market, and to increase Aon Benfield’s strategic focus on its Chile operations.

“As part of an ongoing investment in client solutions and services across the Latin America reinsurance market, we are continuing to strengthen our Chile team, which is committed to driving the development of the Chilean reinsurance market,” said Smith.

Aon Benfield has also appointed the following colleagues to its Chile executive committee: Mariana Mulic, Aon Benfield Chile director of operations, finance and client services and Aon Benfield Latin America chief financial officer; Martin Soto Quintus, Aon Benfield Chile director of the facultative department and Miguel Pizarro, Aon Benfield Chile director of specialty lines, product development and commercial strategy units.

Mike Hughes, chief executive officer of Aon Benfield Latin America, added: “In addition to these structural enhancements to our firm in the Chile reinsurance market, Aon Benfield Chile clients will continue to receive the full benefits of the Aon Benfield global network. This includes access to capital markets products through the capabilities of our reinsurance investment banking division, Aon Benfield Securities, and the expertise and solutions of Aon Benfield Analytics, which comprises more than 500 colleagues globally.”
