Aon plc has announced that it has appointed Dominic Christian as new Global Chairman of Aon Benfield, and that Julie Page has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Aon UK Ltd.
Christian has been the CEO of Aon UK Ltd, the firm’s UK risk management, insurance broking, and reinsurance business, and an Executive Chairman of Aon Benfield since 2013. As Global Chairman, Christian will continue to report to President and CEO of Aon plc Greg Case.
Page will assume Christian’s now vacant position as CEO of Aon UK Ltd, and will be responsible for the management and governance oversight of the business.
In her new role, she will report to Michael O’Connor, Global CEO of Aon Risk Solutions, but she will also retain her current role as CEO of Aon Risk Solutions UK, where she will report to John Cullen, CEO of Aon Risk Solutions EMEA.
Commenting on the new appointments, Greg Case, President and CEO of Aon plc, said: “Dominic has an innate knowledge of Aon’s global reinsurance business with over 30 years of extensive industry experience, which will be of enormous value in managing the responsibilities of his new Chairmanship and working closely with Eric Andersen, CEO of Aon Benfield.
He added: “Julie’s appointment is a testament to her skills and in-depth experience. The Board of Aon UK Ltd will greatly benefit from her counsel as we continue to grow the business in this key market and she brings a broad perspective from across the entire industry through her role as Deputy Chair of British Insurance Brokers’ Association.”
Christian was heavily involved in the merging of Aon Re and Benfield to become Aon Benfield in 2008.
