He will lead a team of more than 500 colleagues, predominately in North America and EMEA regions. Healy will be based in Dublin and report to Richard Waterer, Global Leader of AGRC.

 Waterer said: “Ciaran is a highly effective, client-centric and commercially driven leader with great experience to build on the momentum we’re seeing in the captive space and the increasingly central role that captives will assume in Aon’s broader Risk Capital strategy across Reinsurance and Commercial Risk. 

“Under Ciaran’s leadership, Aon’s captive team will deliver further innovation as our clients increasingly turn to options outside the traditional insurance market to protect and grow their businesses.”
