Aon names APAC Capital Advisory leader
Aon has announced the appointment of Yen Chu Choo as Capital Advisory leader for Asia Pacific (APAC).
Reporting to George Attard, CEO of Reinsurance Solutions for APAC at Aon, Choo joined Aon in 2021 and most recently served as senior director within the APAC Capital Advisory team. She will continue to be based in Singapore.
Attard said: “Yen Chu’s appointment represents another step in the rapid development of our global Capital Advisory function. Asia Pacific is a dynamic region with evolving regulatory regimes and capital requirements, and it is highly important that Capital Advisory is integrated into our delivery of value to clients.”
The global broker also named Mike Cane as Capital Advisory leader for the United Kingdom.
“Both Cane and Choo will assist clients to optimise their capital structures from a regulatory, ratings, and economic perspective. This will involve improving their capital efficiency through capital strategies such as structured reinsurance, capital relief covers, and legacy transactions, which can help to unlock capital and drive growth potential,” said Aon.
“From a ratings perspective, Choo and Cane will work with Capital Advisory’s Ratings Advisory team to assist their respective clients with the new ratings process, as well as maintaining and improving their existing ratings. They will also collaborate with Aon’s global Capital Advisory unit to bring new capital solutions to regional clients to help shape better decisions and drive profitable growth,” added the broker.
