LONDON, July 16, 2024 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today appointed Ed Thomas as head of Lloyd’s Capital within its Reinsurance Solutions Capital Advisory team.
Thomas will be responsible for leading Aon’s Lloyd’s-focused Capital Advisory services, focusing on capital-raising and capacity-enhancing initiatives that support managing agencies’ growth strategies, while helping them to navigate volatility and build resilience.
His remit will also include supporting the creation of new syndicates and delivering risk transfer and capital optimisation programmes, recognising that Lloyd’s remains a leading global marketplace for the deployment of specialty re/insurance capital.
Based in London, Thomas joins Aon from Lloyd’s of London, where he held several executive positions – most recently as head of Member Services, a role in which he was responsible for overseeing approximately £37 billion of funds at Lloyd’s.
During his time at Lloyd’s, Thomas also helped develop its pioneering insurance-linked securities structures, serving as director to Lloyd’s insurance risk transformation entities London Bridge Risk PCC Limited and London Bridge 2 PCC Limited, launched in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
Thomas, a qualified accountant, brings more than 15 years of insurance experience to Aon, having built lasting relationships with investors and capital providers throughout his career. He has also held roles at professional services firm Deloitte, insurer Chubb, and broker The Ardonagh Group.
Commenting on the appointment, Rupert Moore, UK CEO of Reinsurance Solutions at Aon, said: “Ed has had a varied career which has involved his working with many of the world’s leading capital providers and risk transfer experts. We know this experience will allow him to shape better business decisions for our clients.”
Kelly Superczynski, global head of Capital Advisory, added: “Over the past two years, Aon has excelled in bringing innovative capital solutions to clients, which have addressed the challenging market dynamics and concomitant capacity constraints. With Ed on the team, we aim to generate even more client opportunities for effective risk management and profitable growth.”
