Aon has appointed Quinton Kotze as head of cyber solutions in Australia, as organisations face increasing cyber risk and a tightening market for cyber insurance and related advisory services.
Based in Sydney, Kotze will lead Aon’s cyber solutions capability locally, focusing on the firm’s cyber risk strategy in alignment with its global cyber practice. He will report to Alistair Clarke, head of specialty, Australia.
Aon said the role will combine cyber risk advisory and insurance broking, supporting clients across financial services, global corporate and national segments.
“Cyber risk is a critical area of focus for our clients, and this appointment reflects our continued investment in strengthening our cyber capabilities in Australia,” Clarke said. “Quinton brings deep market experience, strong insurer and client relationships and a balanced, practical approach to cyber risk. He is well placed to lead our cyber solutions business and support clients as their risk environments continue to evolve.”
Kotze joins Aon from Chubb, where he most recently served as digital domain lead and financial lines product manager for Asia. Aon said he has held senior cyber and financial lines leadership roles across Australia and the region, with more than 19 years’ experience in the financial lines sector, including earlier roles at AIG and Marsh.
“I’m delighted to be joining Aon at a time when cyber risk is firmly on the agenda for organisations across Australia,” 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.”
