Aon reinsurance arm sets up life practice, names head
Aon's Reinsurance Solutions has appointed Colin Dutkiewicz to a newly created role, global head of life.
The broker is seeking growth in the life market by investing a new life practice group, which Dutkiewicz will lead.
Based in London, he will be responsible for developing and managing the practice, and will report to Nick Frankland, UK CEO of Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions business, who has executive committee responsibility for the new life specialty practice.
Dutkiewicz has 20 years of reinsurance experience and joined Aon in 2015. He was previously with Swiss Re as a director in the life and health business management team.
“Low interest rates are hindering Life insurers’ ability to yield sufficient returns, while they navigate IFRS, Solvency II and Brexit in a challenging market environment," said Frankland. "This means we have an exciting opportunity to support clients through our analytics, product innovation and the advantages of broker advocacy.”
Andy Marcell, CEO of Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions business, added: “The formation of this new Global Specialty practice demonstrates and underlines our belief in the changing dynamics of the Life market and the objective value a broker can bring. It further supports our strategy of building our Specialty Practices to better link our resources around the world.”
