DUBLIN, July 31, 2025 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced two promotions with its Reinsurance executive leadership team to help insurer clients in the UK and APAC navigate volatility, optimise capital and drive profitable growth.
Andrew Laing has been named UK CEO for Reinsurance, subject to regulatory approval, and will retain his role as Aon’s global Facultative CEO, a position he has held since 2016 overseeing and driving a consistently high growth division within Reinsurance. He will continue to be based in London.
Rupert Moore, who has successfully served as UK CEO for Reinsurance for the past three years, will take on a new role as CEO of Reinsurance across Asia Pacific and Chairman of the region for Aon’s Strategy and Technology Group.

Moore brings deep experience in the region, having previously served as CEO of Reinsurance in Japan for five years.
