Aon Solutions Japan Co., Ltd. has announced that it has obtained an insurance broker licence and established a corporate brokerage division, alongside a number of senior appointments.
Aon said the new division will provide insurance programmes and services primarily to large companies with global operations, comparing and negotiating with multiple insurers while utilising Aon’s overseas resources and the reinsurance market under a highly transparent fee structure.
Shinichi Kandatsu, Japan Representative for Commercial Risk Solutions, has been appointed as Representative Director and Co-CEO of the division.
Kandatsu will leverage his extensive experience in Japan and overseas to help strengthen clients’ risk management capabilities.
In addition, Aon Japan Co., Ltd. is strengthening its agency functions, appointing Kiyokazu Doi, Representative Director of Health Solutions Japan, as its President and CEO.
Aon Japan also plans to establish a new base in Nagoya to strengthen its support system across the Chubu and western Japan regions.
“With the launch of this broker division and the strengthening of the agency division, we will build a hybrid service model that takes advantage of the characteristics of both “brokers” and “agencies,” and provide flexible, comprehensive, customer-oriented solutions to Japanese companies dealing with increasingly complex risks,” the firm said.
Aon also announced that Tatsuya Yamamoto has stepped down as Representative Director and President of Aon Japan Co., Ltd. and has been appointed Representative Director and Chairman of Aon Holdings Japan Co., Ltd.
In this role, he will focus on strengthening strategic planning and management oversight across Japan and driving the group’s growth.
