Aon UK appoints new chief operating officer

Broker Aon UK has appointed Nathan Shanaghy as chief operating officer (COO), replacing David Ledger, who will retire at the end of March after 21 years with the company.

Shanaghy is currently COO of Aon Risk Solutions UK (ARS UK) and the London Global Broking Centre (GBC). In this role, he has helped deliver innovative solutions, improved productivity and enhanced analytics. Prior to this, he was director of operations for ARS EMEA, having joined Aon from Marsh in 2010.

Shanaghy will start his new role and join the Aon UK board on April 1, and will report to Aon UK CEO Julie Page.

“I have worked closely with Nathan since joining Aon and know that he will be a great successor to David,” said Page. “I know I speak on behalf of the whole of the UK board in saying that we are very much looking forward to working with Nathan to manage the risk business in the UK.”

“I would like to thank David for his dedication, both to Aon and our industry, in a career that has spanned over 40 years. Both the board and I have valued his experience and counsel in a variety of leadership positions within the firm. We wish him all the best in his retirement,” Page added.
