Will Allen has been appointed as executive managing director of capital advisory at Aon Reinsurance Solutions. Allen will report to Kelly Superczynski, Aon’s global head of capital advisory, and be responsible for sourcing capital from global organisations to support Lloyd’s of London and risk transfer programmes. Working within Aon’s risk capital structure, Allen will align to the firm’s ‘3X3 Plan’ by engaging the expertise and capabilities of different divisions, including its strategy and technology group, the analytics team and Aon Securities to develop solutions for clients. Allen brings more than two decades of capital management experience to his new role, having built relationships with global capital providers and with a recent focus on bringing capital into the insurance sector. Previously, he was CEO of London Innovation Underwriters, a company he founded to deploy funds into the Lloyd's market. Superczynski says: “Will’s appointment marks another step in Aon’s investment in its capital advisory capability and highlights the importance of the Lloyd’s market as a London home for global capital. “Will’s extensive entrepreneurial experience in attracting capital to support complex insurance transactions will be important to the ongoing growth of capital advisory.”
