"We are thrilled to have Vincent on the Aon team. His deep experience in both the insurance and construction industries will further strengthen Aon's capabilities to help clients make better decisions as they navigate the volatility and unpredictability of the market.

He joins Aon from Zurich Insurance, where he worked for the past five years, most recently as national technical manager for Australia and New Zealand.

I'm excited to join the Aon team as the firm continues to innovate and combine advanced data with analytical solutions, providing our clients with better advice. The construction industry is one of the least digitized industries in the world and I look forward to working with the team to continue delivering insights with scalable solutions that help improve transparency and certainty and help organisations protect and grow their business," said Banton.
