LONDON, May 21, 2026 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the continued strengthening of its credit reinsurance offering through the advancement of a hub-led strategy designed to deepen connections between clients and capital in key locations worldwide.
As (re)insurers build diversified portfolios across business lines and geographies, demand is increasing for credit reinsurance expertise delivered through teams with global coordination and local market presence.
In response to this client need, Rupert Evans, international head of credit and financial risks reinsurance for Aon, will relocate from London to New York to strengthen connections between clients and capacity providers in the U.S. and across the Americas.
Evans’ move reflects the growing importance of North America in the global credit and financial risks market, while he continues to work with clients across all regions to ensure the team's strategy, relationships and market engagement remain globally aligned.
London will remain central to Aon’s credit reinsurance strategy, anchoring its trade credit, structured credit, political risk and international surety capabilities. From this global hub, Aon will continue to serve clients across the UK, EMEA and APAC, supported by dedicated credit teams in Bermuda, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Warsaw and Zurich.
Aon’s global hub strategy for credit reinsurance enables more coordinated delivery across its core credit capabilities. Client benefits include:
- Direct access to leading global and regional reinsurers.
- Local insight into market dynamics, risk appetite and emerging trends.
- Coordinated placement strategies that utilize capacity from multiple geographies.
Evans said: “By creating a series of global hubs for our credit reinsurance team, we are bringing insurers closer to the expertise, insights and reinsurance capacity they need in an increasingly complex environment. This model allows us to respond more quickly to changing market dynamics and support better risk and capital decisions for our clients.”
Led by Ben Walker, global credit reinsurance leader, Aon’s credit function includes dedicated teams focused on bank de-risking, North American surety and U.S. mortgage, reflecting the role of the global credit (re)insurance market in helping financial institutions manage risk and capital.
Together with Evans and Nick Ayres, chairman of global credit, senior broking teams in each location will coordinate Aon's credit reinsurance offering across regions, connecting clients with relevant insights and capital.
