LONDON, May 8, 2024 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced that Will Allen has been named executive managing director of Capital Advisory within Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions.
Reporting to Kelly Superczynski, Aon’s global head of Capital Advisory, Allen will be responsible for sourcing capital from global organisations – including institutional funds and family offices – to support Lloyd’s of London programmes, including Funds at Lloyd’s (FAL) and London Bridge structures, as well as risk transfer programmes involving the London Market and Aon’s broader client base.
Working within Aon’s Risk Capital structure, Allen will align to the firm’s 3X3 Plan by engaging expertise and capabilities from across Aon – such as its Strategy and Technology Group, Analytics team and Aon Securities – to develop comprehensive solutions for clients. He will also work with the firm’s Lloyd’s-focused specialists, such as the FAL team, to deliver global capital to support risk transfer and capital optimisation programmes.
Allen brings with him more than two decades of capital management experience to his new role, having built longstanding relationships with global capital providers, and with a recent focus on bringing capital into the insurance sector. He most recently served as chief executive officer of London Innovation Underwriters, a company he founded to deploy funds into the Lloyd’s market.
Superczynski said: “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, as we deliver an increasing number of groundbreaking deals that bring the capacity and innovation necessary to enable better business decisions for clients.”
The appointment of Allen marks another step in Aon’s commitment and investment in its Capital Advisory function, helping clients to manage volatility and build resilience through innovative capital optimisation solutions.
