Aon is relocating its international head of credit and financial risks reinsurance from London to New York, positioning a senior executive closer to clients and reinsurance capacity providers in a region the company says is becoming increasingly important to the global credit and financial risks market.
Rupert Evans (pictured) will move to New York while continuing to work with clients across all regions. Aon said the relocation is intended to deepen connections between insurers, reinsurers and capital providers across the United States and the wider Americas.
The relocation forms part of Aon's hub-led approach to credit reinsurance, which is designed to coordinate delivery across its credit and financial risks capabilities while maintaining local market presence.
Aon said insurers and reinsurers are increasingly building diversified portfolios across business lines and geographies, creating demand for credit reinsurance expertise supported by global coordination and local market knowledge.
According to Aon, the structure is intended to provide clients with direct access to global and regional reinsurers, local insight into market dynamics and risk appetite, and placement strategies that draw capacity from multiple jurisdictions.
Evans said: “By creating a series of global hubs for our credit reinsurance team, we are bringing insurers closer to the expertise, insights and reinsurance capacity they need in an increasingly complex environment. This model allows us to respond more quickly to changing market dynamics and support better risk and capital decisions for our clients.”
While Evans will relocate to New York, London will remain the center of Aon's trade credit, structured credit, political risk and international surety activities.
From London, the company will continue serving clients across the UK, EMEA and APAC regions. The operation is supported by dedicated credit teams in Bermuda, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Warsaw and Zurich.
The credit reinsurance business is led by Ben Walker, Aon's global credit reinsurance leader. The firm's credit function also includes teams focused on bank de-risking, North American surety and the US mortgage sector.
Together with Evans and Nick Ayres, chairman of global credit, senior broking teams across the network will coordinate Aon's credit reinsurance offering across regions.
The move comes within a Risk Capital business that reported $3.5 billion in first-quarter 2026 revenue, up 10% from a year earlier. Within that segment, Reinsurance Solutions revenue increased 8% to $1.279 billion, with organic growth of 4% driven by treaty placements and a double-digit increase in facultative placements, according to Aon's first-quarter results.
The credit reinsurance announcement follows other efforts by Aon to build globally connected operating models across its Risk Capital business.
In May 2026, the company rolled out Aon Claims Copilot across North America, Asia-Pacific and several EMEA markets, placing claims data and analytics onto a shared platform used by claims professionals in more than 50 countries. The initiative forms part of Aon's wider investment in data, analytics and coordinated client delivery.
Against that backdrop, the latest credit reinsurance changes indicate that Aon is continuing to organize specialist capabilities around regional hubs while linking clients to expertise, market insight and sources of reinsurance capital across multiple markets.
