Concirrus hires Aon director as chief analytics officer

London-based insurtech  Concirrus has hired a former Aon director to take on the role of chief analytics officer.

Brian MacInnes (pictured) is a well-recognised figure in the insurance industry having spent the last 12 years at Aon, most recently focused on building out portfolio solutions and analytics capabilities within the broker’s London Market wholesale insurance business.

At Concirrus, he will take up the role of analytics ambassador in the market, and drive an ambitious analytics strategy for the business, leveraging his experience across major global specialties.

MacInnes believes a “dynamic and more nuanced approach” is needed for analytics to be responsive to the reality of demands in the business.

“Currently, there is often a lack of alignment and subsequent barriers in the partnership that is required between technical data and analytics capabilities and the trading environment, to ensure the business-led development and use of analytics. This also limits the opportunity to maximise the impact from innovation and new technology to drive meaningful change at pace,” he said.
