Aon selects chief broking officer for UK commercial risk

Aon has announced the appointment of Graeme MacMillan (pictured) as chief broking officer for commercial risk solutions in the UK.

MacMillan assumes his new position with more than two decades of broking leadership experience. He also has well-established connections with the regional and London markets, having held senior market roles at Aviva, Marsh, and The Ardonagh Group. 

With Aon, MacMillan will be responsible for the company’s UK commercial risk broking strategy, helping enhance insurer relationships to create tailored solutions for clients.

MacMillan is set to join the firm on November 1 and will report to both Jane Kielty, head of commercial risk solutions in the UK, and James Baum, head of wholesale and specialty broking, to ensure seamless alignment between the UK broking strategy and Aon’s global broking centre.

“Graeme has a phenomenal track record of leading the creation and execution of innovative and differentiated broking strategies that are bold and ambitious for the benefit of clients,” said Kielty. “It’s great news that both Aon and our clients will soon be benefitting from his experience and skills to help navigate emerging forms of volatility.

“This new role demonstrates our commitment to investing in talent that meets the evolving needs of our clients through strategies that build on creativity as we help shape better decisions. Both James and I are looking forward to working with Graeme as he does so in his new role.”

MacMillan's appointment comes after Aon named finance industry veteran Stephen Trauber as the newest member of its global M&A and transaction solutions advisory board.
