AON Expands Bermudan Reinsurance Platform
AON, a global leader in professional services, has announced a significant expansion of its Bermuda reinsurance platform, aimed at enhancing transactional and capital optimisation solutions while fostering profitable growth opportunities for clients.

Pending approval from Bermuda’s immigration authorities, Aon plans to initially add five new team members to its Bermuda reinsurance team, with additional hires expected in the coming months. This bolstered team will strengthen Aon’s presence on the island, particularly in Global Specialty lines of business, with a focus on property specialty retrocession. It will also support the development of Aon’s local facultative and captive reinsurance platforms, aligning closely with corresponding teams in London and the U.S.

The newly appointed roles within Aon’s Bermuda Reinsurance Solutions team include:

  • Jemma Henry – Managing Director
  • Lawrence Cheng – Managing Director
  • Libby Sargent – Vice President
  • George Burles – Vice President
  • Sonal Ohrie – Vice President

The expanded team will report to James Ramamurthy, head of Global ReSpecialty Bermuda, who in turn reports to Roman Romeo, CEO of Reinsurance Solutions Bermuda for Aon.

Commenting on the expansion, Romeo stated: “With this expanded and highly engaged team, we are broadening the scope of our Bermuda operations, reinforcing our market position as the leading destination for Aon’s Bermuda-based reinsurance clients. Our clients now have access to even more capabilities, both locally and through Aon’s global network.”

Rupert Moore, UK CEO of Reinsurance Solutions at Aon, added: “Aon’s London and New York reinsurance teams will continue to collaborate closely with our Bermuda colleagues to deliver additional value to clients. This expansion demonstrates our commitment to fostering inclusive, collaborative, and growth-oriented teams across our global operations, helping clients make better decisions.”
