Aon has appointed Jessie Shi as associate director in its Transaction Solutions team in Asia, the company announced on LinkedIn.
Based in Shanghai, Shi joins Aon, bringing legal, tax and accounting experience to the role. A qualified CPA and practising lawyer, she previously worked at law firm Jun He and was in-house counsel at PwC and Intel Corporation.
In her new role, she will support Aon’s transaction solutions team as demand for M&A insurance solutions across both domestic and cross-border Chinese transactions continues to grow.
“Jessie’s combination of technical expertise, commercial acumen, and client-focused approach will be a valuable addition as we continue to expand our M&A insurance capabilities across China and the broader Asia-Pacific region,” Martjin De Lange, Managing Director for transaction solutions APAC, said.
Her hiring adds to the broker’s efforts to strengthen its M&A solutions team, following the appointment of Ee Yen Lin as regional director, Asia.
It also follows a recent run of leadership moves announced by the broker across the APAC region, including the appointments of Jess Kang as head of data and analytics for APAC, Metat Sae-Jan as head of life and health reinsurance solutions for Thailand, and Taranjeet Walia as senior client director for commercial risk solutions & growth in India.
