Aon plc has appointed Dominic Christian as global chair of Aon Benfield. At the same time, Julie Page has been promoted to chief executive officer of Aon UK Ltd.
Most recently, Mr. Christian was chief executive officer of Aon UK Ltd, the firm's United Kingdom risk management, insurance broking, and reinsurance business, and executive chair of Aon Benfield International since 2013. In his new role, Mr. Christian will continue to report to Greg Case, president and chief executive officer of Aon plc.
In Ms. Page's new executive position, she will be responsible for the management and governance oversight of the Aon UK Ltd business, including strategies on how to best meet clients' needs, delivering on the firm's United Kingdom regulatory commitments, and liaising with the United Kingdom board.
Ms. Page will report to Michael O'Connor, global chief executive officer of Aon Risk Solutions in her Aon UK Ltd role and also will continue in her current position as chief executive officer of Aon Risk Solutions UK, reporting to John Cullen, chief executive officer of Aon Risk Solutions EMEA.
Mr. Case, president and chief executive officer of Aon plc, commented, "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. 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."
