With De Souza set to vacate his position, Aon is filling it with John Carroll, currently Aon’s Head of Treaty Australia and New Zealand for Reinsurance Solutions.

Carroll will step into the position of Reinsurance Solutions’ CEO of Australia and New Zealand and also join the Reinsurance Solutions APAC Executive Committee.

He will be responsible for leading Aon’s business in the region, delivering strategic priorities and helping cedents mitigate risk and access capital.

Both De Souza and Carroll will report to George Attard, Reinsurance Solutions’ CEO of APAC, who commented, “We are pleased to announce Rob’s and John’s new roles within our Asia Pacific team. They are both highly experienced and proven professionals, with the requisite skills to take business results and innovation to the next level, while helping our clients build resilience and navigate significant global and regional volatility.

“In 2022, we have continued to strengthen our business and a key part of this success is building a team that inspires and energises each other to create differentiated solutions for clients and deliver the exceptional level of service our clients demand.”
