Aon appoints former Gallagher exec as head of marine for Asia

Stephen Rudman has made the switch from Gallagher to Aon as head of marine for Asia.

Rudman, who started his new role in January, is based in Singapore and is part of the broking giant’s global marine executive team. He reports to Paul Young, head of commercial risk solutions for Asia at Aon.

“I am excited to join the Aon team and look forward to leveraging Aon’s global expertise and state-of-the-art analytics to provide innovative solutions and ensuring our clients in the marine industry continue to receive the clarity and confidence to make better decisions to protect and grow their business,” Rudman said.

Rudman worked for Gallagher for the past 10 years, most recently as head of marine, transport, and logistics for Australia. At Aon, Rudman will be responsible for growing the team and driving business growth in Asia while helping clients manage volatility.

“Businesses in the region are facing several challenges including rising inflation, workforce shortages, and increasing climate risks. Stephen’s extensive experience will further enhance our team’s capability to bring scalable solutions to our clients in the marine industry in such a challenging environment,” Young said. 

Aon’s marine team in Asia has over 50 experts based in key hubs in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, and Seoul.
