Aon Appoints George Attard Global Head of Analytics for Reinsurance

AON, a leading global professional services firm, has announced George Attard has been named global head of analytics for Reinsurance Solutions, in addition to his role as chief strategy officer for Reinsurance Solutions. The appointment reinforces the firm’s commitment to delivering differentiated value to insurer clients through the integration of analytics and strategy across its reinsurance business.

In his expanded role, Attard will accelerate the development and utilization of Aon’s reinsurance analytics capabilities to help insurers navigate volatility, optimize capital and make better decisions through the market cycle to drive performance. Building on his track record of integrating strategy, analytics and execution in client‑facing leadership roles, Attard will further unite Aon’s data, technology and more than 1,000 reinsurance analytics colleagues to accelerate Aon’s innovation roadmap.

“George brings a combination of strategic vision, deep actuarial expertise and a practical understanding of what our clients need in the evolving risk landscape,” said Andy Marcell, CEO of Global Solutions for Aon. “As we continue to invest in the next generation of analytics, George’s leadership will help us bring the full strength of Aon to our clients to manage even the most complex of exposures, facilitated by our Risk Capital structure, which allows Aon to deliver solutions seamlessly across Commercial Risk and Reinsurance.”

With this appointment, Paul Shedden will remain global head of Advanced Risk Analytics across all of the firm’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 across Reinsurance Solutions’ analytics and broking capabilities while aligning to the firm’s broader analytics strategy and ensuring the solution line both contributes to and benefits from Aon’s wider capabilities.

“I am excited to expand my role and drive an integrated approach that aligns our reinsurance analytics and strategy to unlock differentiated value for our clients,” Attard said. “By continuing to invest in advanced analytics, AI and our people, Aon is enabling more resilient decision‑making and new opportunities to meet evolving client needs.”

In 2025 Aon launched its Risk Analytics Platform to provide clients with integrated hazard, exposure and loss data through a single interface. Aon is investing in next‑generation underwriting and portfolio analytics, which are set to launch later this year, and continues to develop capabilities such as its Impact Forecasting catastrophe models. These models continue to help re/insurers to assess and manage their natural catastrophe exposures; in 2025, according to Aon’s 2026 Climate and Catastrophe Insight report , global insured losses from natural hazards reached $127 billion.
