Chicago-based insurance broker Aon said it has realigned the management of its overseas operations and appointed Roelof Hendriks as chief executive of one of its divisions.
Aon has separated its Asia Pacific operations from Europe, Middle East and Africa, all of which were based in the Netherlands as Aon Holdings. The Asia Pacific unit, headed by Bernie Fung, chief executive officer of Aon Pacific, will report directly to the Chicago headquarters. Mr. Fung was also appointed to Aon's policy committee.
Mr. Hendriks, formerly vice chairman of Aon Holdings, was appointed CEO of Aon Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and was named to the policy committee.
“Creating Aon EMEA and Aon Asia Pacific will enable us to be even closer to our clients and find more opportunities to create new business,” Mr. Hendriks said in a statement.
“Due to the impressive economic expansion and the size of the population, the markets of India and China offer so much opportunity,” he continued. “With the creation of both units we reinforce our position as a strong business partner to our clients and drive organic growth.”
Aon EMEA has offices in 57 countries and 10,000 employees with revenues of $1.1 billion. Aon Asia Pacific operates in 20 countries and has more than 3,500 employees with revenues of $500 million.
