Joe Peiser will lead Aon’s risk capital capabilities in commercial risk and reinsurance solutions as the broker continues to enhance and execute its risk capital strategy.
Peiser joined Aon in 2021 as head of commercial risk, North America, and became global CEO of commercial risk in 2023.
He brings more than three decades of industry experience in brokerage leadership, risk advisory, client advisory roles and executive roles in North America, the UK and Bermuda to his new role.
In his new role as CEO of Risk Capital, Peiser will continue to report to Aon Global Solutions CEO Andy Marcell and will work closely with solutions lines, regional leaders and Aon Business Services to help the company accelerate the delivery of end-to-end solutions.
Marcel, who transitioned from CEO of Venture Capital to head of Aon Global Solutions in June last year, said: “Aon’s venture capital capabilities are critical as we help clients navigate an increasingly complex risk environment. Joe’s deep industry experience, proven leadership and the trust he has gained from clients around the world make him a perfect fit for this role. His appointment reflects the continued momentum of our combined Aon strategy as we expand our capabilities to meet evolving client needs.”
Peiser commented, “I am honored to take on this venture capital role at a critical time for our clients and the company. Organizations are facing unprecedented complexity, and Aon’s ability to seamlessly connect expertise, analytics and diverse capital pools is a real advantage. I am excited to work with our colleagues across all capabilities to deliver solutions that help clients make better decisions and create value.”
Aon’s venture capital strategy is designed to help clients make more informed decisions by accessing the most effective forms of capital.
