Aon Australia has appointed Lambros Lambrou as CEO to replace Steve Nevett, who will step down from the role in January but continue as Chairman for the Pacific Region.

Mr Lambrou is currently Head of Aon’s London Global Broking Centre and Chief Broking Officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

He worked for Aon Australia from 1992 to 2008 in roles that spanned reinsurance and retail broking.

He will report to Mr Nevett, who is stepping down as CEO after almost seven years in the role.

Mr Nevett became Pacific Region Chairman in 2010 and Aon says Mr Lambrou’s appointment will allow Mr Nevett “to focus on the execution of Aon’s broader strategy across the Pacific and work to further build a number of key client and market relationships”.
