The appointment aims to reinforce the firm’s commitment to delivering differentiated value to insurer clients through the integration of analytics and strategy across its reinsurance business. In his expanded role, Attard will accelerate the development and utilisation of reinsurance analytics capabilities to help insurers navigate volatility, optimise capital and make better decisions through the market cycle to drive performance. Building on his track record of integrating strategy, analytics and execution in client-facing leadership roles, Attard will further unite data, technology and more than 1,000 reinsurance analytics colleagues to accelerate the firm’s innovation roadmap. Andy Marcell, CEO of global solutions for Aon, says: “George brings a combination of strategic vision, deep actuarial expertise and a practical understanding of what our clients need in the evolving risk landscape.” Marcell adds: “As we continue to invest in the next generation of analytics, George’s leadership will help us bring the full strength of Aon to our clients to manage even the most complex of exposures, facilitated by our Risk Capital structure, which allows Aon to deliver solutions across both the insurance and reinsurance markets.” Following the appointment, Paul Shedden remains global head of advanced risk analytics across all solution lines. He will continue to lead enterprise-wide analytics strategy and delivery, working with Attard to drive innovation across Reinsurance Solutions’ analytics and broking capabilities while ensuring the solution line aligns with the firm’s broader analytics strategy. Commenting on his appointment, Attard says: “I am excited to expand my role and drive an integrated approach that aligns our reinsurance analytics and strategy to unlock differentiated value for our clients. By continuing to invest in advanced analytics, AI and our people, Aon is enabling more resilient decision-making and new opportunities to meet evolving client needs.” The firm continues to develop capabilities such as its Impact Forecasting catastrophe models to help re/insurers assess and manage natural catastrophe exposures. According to Aon’s 2026 Climate and Catastrophe Insight report, global insured losses from natural hazards reached US$127 billion in 2025.
