Quinton Kotze has begun working as head of cyber solutions for Aon in Australia, reporting to local head of specialty Alistair Clarke.

Mr Kotze will bring together cyber risk advisory and insurance broking capabilities, and support clients across financial services, global corporate and national segments, the broker says.

“I’m delighted to be joining Aon at a time when cyber risk is firmly on the agenda for organisations across Australia,” Mr Kotze said. “Aon’s integrated approach, combining advisory, data, analytics and insurance, provides a strong platform to help clients make better decisions.

“I’m looking forward to working with colleagues across the firm to further build sustainable, client-focused cyber solutions.”

Sydney-based Mr Kotze moves from Chubb, where he spent nearly 13 years in cyber and technology management positions, most recently as digital domain lead and financial lines product manager for Asia. He has also worked at AIG, as a financial lines manager from 2010 to 2013, and spent six years at Marsh. 

“Quinton brings deep market experience, strong insurer and client relationships and a balanced, practical approach to cyber risk,” Mr Clarke said. “He is well placed to lead our cyber solutions business and support clients as their risk environments continue to evolve.” 

Michael Parrant was cyber practice leader at Aon before his move to Willis last August.
