Aon appoints Mona Barnes as Global Chief Claims Officer

Aon, the global re/insurance broking group, has appointed Mona Barnes as Global Chief Claims Officer, effective immediately, reporting to Joe Peiser, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Commercial Risk.

As Global Chief Claims Officer, Barnes will be expected to lead claims across Aon’s practice worldwide, working closely with the firm’s global leaders.

In her new role, Barnes will also join the organisation’s Commercial Risk’s global leadership team.

Barnes joined Aon in 2023 to oversee the teams of claims professionals in the Global Broking Centre and UK Claims functions.

Before she joined Aon, Barnes led Swiss Re Group’s Global Key Case and Large Loss Management team, and also served as Vice President of Chubb Overseas Claims Management.

It’s important to highlight, that Barnes is an active participant in relevant industry forums, including the RAND Institute for Civil Justice, of which she has been an Advisory Board Member.

“Since joining Aon, Mona has demonstrated exceptional leadership and brought invaluable expertise across a wide range of risk classes and complex claims. Her innovative approach and commitment to excellence make her a perfect fit for this role,” commented Joe Peiser, CEO, Commercial Risk.

Adding: “Mona’s appointment underscores Aon’s dedication to delivering best-in-class claims outcomes and services for our clients – one of our key differentiators. We are confident her stewardship will further enhance our relationships with clients, colleagues, insurers, and partners across all aspects of claims.”

Aon recently expanded its Bermuda reinsurance platform to enhance transactional and capital optimisation solutions and support profitable growth opportunities for clients.

In doing so, the firm added five new members to its Bermuda reinsurance team: Jemma Henry and Lawrence Cheng, both serving as Managing Directors, along with Libby Sargent, George Burles, and Sonal Ohrie, who have been appointed as Vice Presidents.
