Global broker Aon Corp. has named Gregory C. Case as president and CEO. The move follows the previously announced retirement of founding CEO Patrick G. Ryan, who will serve as executive chairman of the board for Aon.
Case was most recently head of the financial services practice for consulting firm McKinsey & Co. and prior to that headed the firm’s global insurance practice.
Ryan says of his successor, “he is a proven leader and team builder, and he has advised, and earned the respect of, some of the most prominent executives in the worldwide insurance industry. In addition to his broad insurance background, which will be of obvious benefit to our brokerage and underwriting businesses, he will bring great value to Aon’s consulting business.”
Also on Monday, XL Insurance Co. announced the appointment of Cindy Guyatt as country manager for Canada.
Guyatt has over 20 years of industry experience, most recently as president and CEO of Travelers Casualty & Surety Co. of Canada. She will work with current chief agent and controller Bob Alexander.
“Canada is an important market for our insurance business,” says Gary Bakalar, regional manager of XL Insurance, Americas. “The appointment of Ms. Guyatt underlines our commitment to Canada, and our resolve to attract top insurance industry talent.”
