Aon has appointed Gero Michel to lead UK and EMEA analytics for its reinsurance solutions business.

Michel is responsible for devising and driving analytics innovation and strategy across the UK and EMEA, and reports to Eric Paire, head of international capital advisory at Aon’s reinsurance solutions business.

He joins from Chaucer where he was managing director of its European business, responsible for analytics, underwriting and parametric solutions for emerging and developing markets, and delivering alternative risk transfer products.

Before that he was chief risk officer at Montpelier Re in Bermuda, and head of risk analytics. He has over 25 years’ experience in risk management and has experience as a seismologist and geologist in academia.

Nick Frankand, UK CEO of Aon’s reinsurance solutions business, said Michel will work closely with Aon’s capital advisory team to lead analytics and support clients with capital-efficient and structured solutions, while also sharing his knowledge on Solvency II, rating agency models and transactional opportunities.
