According to the company, Steingold and his team have been involved in helping clients manage the impact of some of the world’s largest disasters in recent history, such as the floods in Thailand and the earthquakes in New Zealand and Tohoku, Japan.

No replacement has been named for his role, and there is a possibility that a restructuring of the regional operations will happen in the future. In the meantime, Aon Benfield’s APAC executive team will fill in for Steingold after his departure, reporting directly to chief executive Eric Andersen.
