New head of advanced risk analytics appointed by Aon
Sean Rider has joined Aon as the head of advanced risk analytics in North America for Commercial Risk.
As part of the global data & analytics leadership team, Rider will be responsible for leading the embedding and adoption of Aon’s advanced risk analytics (drawing from capabilities across the Risk Capital organization) into Aon's commercial risk broking, consulting, and client experience in North America.
Rider’s role is focused on ensuring Aon Commercial Risk is "positioned to win in the advanced risk analytics arena" through delivering market leading analytics embedded in the way it works and how clients experience Aon with innovative forms of risk capital.
“In my brief time here I’ve already seen the incredible commitment to harnessing the power of advanced risk analytics and delivering them to Commercial Risk clients at scale embedded in the way we work as brokers and consultants, and essential in the client experience,” said Rider in a statement on LinkedIn. “When you couple this with a parallel commitment to innovation and agnosticism around delivering risk capital to clients, you have a winning strategy indeed! I’m very excited to be a part of this story.”
Rider was previously head of strategic insurance solutions at One Concern in the New York City Metropolitan Area from August 2021 to November 2023.
Prior to that he was at Willis Towers Watson for almost 14 years, first as executive vice president, managing director - consulting & development, global captive practice from December 2007 to August 2021 and then also as executive vice president - head of client development - North America, risk & analytics from January 2019 to August 2021.
