Aon has bolstered its climate risk advisory team with three new leadership appointments.
The expansion aims to further serve Aon’s clients’ advanced risk analytics needs in both commercial risk solutions and reinsurance solutions.
The expanded service will continue to be led by Liz Henderson, global head of climate risk advisory for risk capital.
In her new expanded role, she will report to Paul Shedden, who was named head of advanced risk analytics for risk capital in August 2023.
Henderson has more than 20 years of experience in risk analytics and has led US catastrophe analytics, providing (re)insurers with modelled insights to better understand their catastrophe risk.
Aon's climate risk advisory practice helps clients with their climate-related financial risks, with an initial focus on financial institutions, public sector entities and firms with large real estate holdings.
The practice delivers an “end-to-end approach” to climate model and risk programme evaluation, asset, resilience assessments and engineering insights, due diligence and reporting and disclosure support.
Additionally, Aon has bolstered its climate risk advisory team further.
Will Bruce, previously climate consulting leader for Aon’s Global Risk Consulting, is now global head of consulting.
Megan Hart will serve as global head of analytics and collaborations. Aon has promoted her from managing director of climate risk advisory.
Dan Raizman has been appointed as global head of client engagement. He will move into the role from working as Aon’s senior director of analytics.
Commenting on the expansion, Andy Marcell, CEO of risk capital at Aon, says: “As climate drives new extreme weather records, clients are looking for help to quantify the impact of climate and make better decisions to mitigate and transfer the risk.”
“This step will enable us to deliver advanced climate analytics across our corporate and insurer clients that allows them to understand the unique position of their business through better risk quantification, positioning them to be increasingly strategic around how they access capital and achieve their business goals.”
