Global insurance and reinsurance brokerage group Aon has announced the appointment of George Attard as global head of analytics for Reinsurance Solutions, who will also serve as Chief Strategy Officer for Reinsurance Solutions.
In this expanded role, Attard will accelerate the development and utilization of Aon Re’s analytical capabilities to help insurers navigate volatility, optimize capital and make better decisions throughout market cycles. He will also focus on uniting Aon’s data, technology and more than 1,000 colleagues to advance the company’s innovation roadmap.
With this appointment, Paul Shedden will continue to serve as global head of advanced risk analytics across all of the company’s solution lines, where he will continue to oversee Aon’s enterprise-wide analytics strategy and delivery. Shedden will work with Attard to drive innovation in reinsurance solutions analytics and brokerage capabilities, while aligning with the company’s wider analytics strategy and ensuring the range of solutions both contributes to and benefits from Aon’s broader capabilities.
Attard has been with Aon for more than 17 years, joining the company in July 2008 as head of Asia Pacific for Aon Benfield Analytics. He has since held a number of senior leadership roles in reinsurance, including CEO of Reinsurance Solutions Asia Pacific.
Since July 2025, he has served as Chief Strategy Officer, Reinsurance Solutions.
Andy Marcell, CEO of Aon Global Solutions, said: “George brings together strategic vision, deep actuarial expertise and a practical understanding of clients’ needs in an evolving risk landscape.
“As we continue to invest in next-generation analytics, George’s leadership will help us bring the full power of Aon to our clients, managing the most complex risk exposures, driven by our venture capital structure, which enables Aon to seamlessly deliver solutions across commercial risk and reinsurance.”
Attard commented: “I am excited to expand my role and drive a comprehensive approach that aligns our reinsurance analytics and strategy to unlock differentiated value for our clients.
“By continuing to invest in advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and our people, Aon is enabling more resilient decision-making and new opportunities to meet changing customer needs.”
In 2025, Aon launched its risk analytics platform to provide clients with comprehensive hazard, exposure and loss data through a single interface. The company is also investing in next-generation underwriting and portfolio analytics, which will launch later this year, and continues to develop capabilities such as impact prediction catastrophe models.
