Aon on Monday (2 Sep) announced the appointment of Yen Chu Choo as Capital Advisory Leader for Asia Pacific (APAC).
Choo, who first joined Aon in 2021, has been serving as Senior Director within the APAC Capital Advisory team and will continue to be based in Aon’s Singapore office, reporting to George Attard, CEO of Reinsurance Solutions, APAC.
“Yen Chu’s appointment represents another step in the rapid development of our global Capital Advisory function,” says Attard. “Asia Pacific is a dynamic region with evolving regulatory regimes and capital requirements and it is highly important that Capital Advisory is integrated into our delivery of value to clients.”
In her new role, Choo will assist clients in optimising their capital structures from regulatory, ratings, and economic perspectives, Aon said. This includes improving capital efficiency through strategies such as structured reinsurance, capital relief covers, and legacy transactions, which can help unlock capital and drive growth potential.
She will also collaborate with the business’s global Capital Advisory unit to bring new capital solutions to regional clients, Aon added.
In addition to Choo’s appointment, Aon also announced it had named London-based Mike Cane as Capital Advisory leader for the United Kingdom.
