Aon unveils new ERM boss

Grant Foster has been appointed head of enterprise risk management (ERM) at Aon.

Under Foster, the ERM team will continue to focus on supporting Aon’s insurance broking operations, in order to provide an end-to-end risk management programme for Aon’s clients.

Foster will be heading the UK team but will further integrate the UK into Aon’s pan-EMEA and global risk management for world-wide businesses.

Foster was previously UK head of general industries consulting for Det Norske Veritas. He said: “This is a very exciting time to be heading up such a fantastic team and to be a part of a global business like Aon.

"Pandemics, financial crises and climate change, just as a few examples, really allow ERM to shine and show how powerful this type of risk management is. I am truly happy to be leading this team, at this time, at this company and look forward to the challenges ahead and growing this successful business.”
