UK-based insurer Aon has appointed Lambros Lambrou as its new chief strategy officer with immediate effect. 

Lambrou will be responsible for leading initiatives that are central to Aon United strategy and its 3×3 Plan, aimed at driving growth and value for the company. 

Lambrou’s duties will include the advancement of Aon’s “independent and connected” NFP strategy.  

The company recently marked one year since the acquisition of NFP, which has expanded Aon’s middle market presence and has had a positive impact on its business performance. 

In collaboration with NFP CEO Doug Hammond and the leadership team, Lambrou will focus on enhancing the integration between Aon and NFP to deliver enhanced solutions to clients.  

Both Lambrou and Hammond will report to Aon CEO Greg Case. 

Following this, Aon has begun an internal search for Lambros’ replacement as CEO of human capital.  

The insurer stated that Lambrou’s leadership in that division has driven growth with the integration of the company’s Health, Wealth and Talent services. 

Lambrou’s prior roles within Aon include global CEO of commercial risk, chief commercial officer and CEO of global specialties for commercial risk solutions.  

His earlier positions also encompass CEO of Aon’s retail business in Australia, CEO of Aon’s global broking centre in London, chief broking officer for EMEA, global chief operating officer for Aon Broking and head of Aon analytics. 

Lambrou said: “One year into our partnership, our independent and connected model is working in bringing the best of Aon and NFP to our clients. I am excited to work more with Doug and the entire NFP team to further enhance our collaboration and accelerate the delivery of unmatched value to our clients.” 

This leadership change comes after the recent appointment of Anthony DiLorenzo as head of US casualty for Reinsurance Solutions.
