Global brokerage giant Aon has announced that its group president, Steve McGill, is leaving the business to explore new opportunities.
McGill is exiting Aon after serving the company for about 12 years. He said he is “incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished at Aon over the last decade and wish nothing but the best for my colleagues and our clients.”
“I’m at a point in my career where I feel compelled to explore new opportunities to serve the insurance industry and the UK as we navigate these unique times and am excited by the prospect of beginning a new chapter,” McGill said.
With McGill’s departure,
Aon Benfield CEO Eric Andersen and
Aon Risk Solutions CEO Mike O’Connor will work together to build the company’s global risk business.
Andersen and O’Connor will directly report to Aon plc president and CEO Greg Case. The transition takes effect immediately.
Case was all praise for McGill, saying he has developed a “well-earned reputation as a tireless innovator on behalf of clients.”
“Those efforts have been critical to our success and highly relevant to the global insurance marketplace, particularly in London, where he has worked closely with insurers to create exceptional value for our clients,” Case said.
“I am grateful to him for his leadership and wish him the best as he begins a new chapter of his career,” he added.
