The former WTW Greater China divisional leader will focus on expanding Aon’s advisory, analytics and technology-led solutions across Asia Pacific
Aon has appointed Sean Deehan as CEO of its Strategy and Technology Group for APAC, effective immediately.
Deehan (pictured) will be based in Hong Kong and report to Sherif Zakhary, global CEO of Aon’s Strategy and Technology Group and Inpoint.
In the role, Deehan will focus on expanding access to Aon’s advisory, analytics and technology-led solutions across the region.
Aon said the appointment would support clients in making risk and capital decisions and pursuing profitable growth.
A key focus will be expanding adoption of Aon’s Life Risk Modeling Suite in APAC, including PathWise, its platform for life and annuity risk modelling.
Aon said the platform helps actuarial teams run complex projections more efficiently.
Deehan has more than 25 years of experience across insurance, consulting, strategy and risk management.
His experience includes Greater China and Asia Pacific markets, spanning strategy, actuarial leadership, M&A, market entry strategy, product innovation, risk management and client advisory.
He joins Aon from WTW, where he was most recently Greater China divisional leader and head of Hong Kong and Macau.
He previously held senior executive and board-level roles, including CEO and executive director of Standard Life Asia.
Zakhary said: “Asia Pacific represents a significant growth opportunity for our team, and Sean will play a key role in expanding our capabilities, strengthening collaborations and delivering even greater value for clients across the region.
“Sean’s regional experience, market knowledge and commercial leadership will help increase our momentum and support continued growth in Asia Pacific.”
Deehan said: “Aon’s strategy and technology group has a strong reputation for helping clients make better decisions through innovation and deep industry knowledge.
“I am excited to join the firm at a time of significant opportunity across Asia Pacific and look forward to working with colleagues and clients across the region to deliver distinctive solutions that support growth and long-term success.”
