Aon has appointed Kevan Johnston as managing director, Commercial, and has expanded Scott Willmot’s role to include the responsibilities of the chief commercial officer in a bid to strengthen the leadership of its SME/Mid-market solutions and its sales, marketing and growth capabilities.

Incoming chief executive officer at Aon Risk Solutions, James Baum, said the appointments were designed to build on the gains the company had made in both their commercial business and across their sales and industry group capabilities.

“Since joining Aon in early 2017 in the role of Chief Commercial Officer Kevan has driven Aon’s strong focus on sales capabilities and execution, creating a culture of strong teamwork and collaboration amongst sales colleagues across the business,” said Baum.

Wilmot brought together Aon’s two marketing teams and managed its growing sports partnership program in his 12 months at the risk firm. In his expanded role, Wilmot would align sales, marketing and bid management teams, and continue to chair the Aon United Board.

“Scott is the right person to evolve and expand this critical growth role and to absorb the responsibilities of Chief Commercial Officer,” Baum added.

Wilmot and Johnston would step into their roles from the close of the second quarter this year.
