The insurance broking behemoth Aon has today confirmed a swathe of key senior leadership appointments in EMEA.
With John Cullen stepping down from his role as CEO of commercial risk, health and affinity in EMEA at the end of June, Julie Page, currently CEO of commercial risk, health and affinity for the UK and Aon UK Ltd, will report to Eric Andersen, president of Aon, and join the global Aon operating committee.
Page has also been revealed as CEO of the UK region on the future Aon executive committee that will be effective upon the completion of the proposed mega-merger of Aon and Willis Towers Watson.
Meanwhile, responsibility for commercial risk, health and affinity in EMEA (excluding the UK), will transfer to Eduardo Dávila, who currently serves as CEO of Aon Iberia and the Middle East. In his new role, Dávila will report jointly to Andersen and Carlo Clavarino, executive chairman, international business, and will also join the global Aon operating committee. Dávila has been named CEO of the EMEA region (excluding the UK) as part of the future Aon executive committee.
Clavarino takes on a new role as executive chairman, international business, where he will continue to play a key role across the region, building on over two decades of client service at the broking firm. In this position, he will serve as a member of the global Aon operating committee and he has also been named chair, international, as part of the future Aon executive committee.
Commenting on the changes at the top, Andersen noted that Cullen had “consistently delivered” for Aon’s colleagues and clients over the past 27 years, and the firm looks forward to his continuing efforts as chair of Aon’s recently established EMEA M&A and transaction solutions advisory board.
“At the same time,” he said, “I welcome Julie, Eduardo and Carlo to their expanded roles. As future Aon executive committee leaders, they have extensive market experience and strong insights and are recognised for leading and inspiring colleagues to deliver outstanding results.”
