Global insurance and reinsurance broking group Aon has announced the appointment of George Attard as Global Head of Analytics for Reinsurance Solutions, in addition to his role as Chief Strategy Officer for Reinsurance Solutions.
In this expanded role, Attard will accelerate the development and utilisation of Aon’s reinsurance analytics capabilities to help insurers navigate volatility, optimise capital, and make better decisions throughout the market cycle. He will also focus on uniting Aon’s data, technology, and more than 1,000 colleagues to advance the firm’s innovation roadmap.
With this appointment, Paul Shedden will remain Global Head of Advanced Risk Analytics across all of the firm’s solution lines, where he will continue to oversee Aon’s enterprise-wide analytics strategy and delivery. Shedden will work with Attard to drive innovation across Reinsurance Solutions’ analytics and broking capabilities while aligning with the firm’s broader analytics strategy and ensuring the solution line both contributes to and benefits from Aon’s wider capabilities.
Attard has worked at Aon for more than 17 years, joining the firm in July 2008 as Head of Aon Benfield Analytics Asia Pacific. Since then, he has held a number of senior leadership roles within reinsurance, including CEO of Reinsurance Solutions, Asia Pacific.
He has served in his current role as Chief Strategy Officer for Reinsurance Solutions since July 2025.
Andy Marcell, CEO of Global Solutions for Aon, said, “George brings a combination of strategic vision, deep actuarial expertise and a practical understanding of what our clients need in the evolving risk landscape.
“As we continue to invest in the next generation of analytics, George’s leadership will help us bring the full strength of Aon to our clients to manage even the most complex of exposures, facilitated by our Risk Capital structure, which allows Aon to deliver solutions seamlessly across Commercial Risk and Reinsurance.”
Attard commented, “I am excited to expand my role and drive an integrated approach that aligns our reinsurance analytics and strategy to unlock differentiated value for our clients.
“By continuing to invest in advanced analytics, AI and our people, Aon is enabling more resilient decision‑making and new opportunities to meet evolving client needs.”
In 2025, Aon launched its Risk Analytics Platform to provide clients with integrated hazard, exposure and loss data through a single interface. The firm is also investing in next-generation underwriting and portfolio analytics, which are set to launch later this year, and continues to develop capabilities such as its Impact Forecasting catastrophe models.
