Beebe said closer coordination between Aon’s two principal business areas would create additional opportunities for clients.
“Leonora’s focus on aligning priorities, capabilities and investment will help us capture those opportunities with greater pace and scale,” he said.
Siccardi brings more than 20 years of international leadership experience in insurance and reinsurance, most of it at Aon. Her previous responsibilities have included driving business performance and growth across Reinsurance Solutions and Risk Capital.
She will retain her positions as Chief Claims Officer for Aon’s Reinsurance Solutions business and Global Head of Client Solutions, Risk Capital.
In the latter role, she oversees growth initiatives involving Aon’s proprietary and cedent facilities, alongside Specialist Claims Solutions.
Siccardi also serves on the board of Aon Reinsurance Italia S.p.A. and has advised senior executives and corporate boards on strategy, growth and enterprise transformation.
“The strongest strategies create value when priorities and execution are fully connected,” Siccardi said. “My focus is on strengthening those connections across Risk Capital and Human Capital, turning priorities into action and delivering the best of Aon to our clients, consistently and at scale.”
