LONDON, 27 March 2025 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm,has announced Ben Roe as global defined contribution (DC) wealth strategy leader within Wealth Solutions.
Currently Senior Partner and Head of UK DC Consulting at Aon, in his new role Ben Roe will focus on ensuring clients benefit from knowledge and solutions developed in established DC markets, notably Australia, the UK and the US. He will also be responsible for identifying growth opportunities in markets where DC pensions are currently less used. Based in London, Ben will report to Michael Clare, head of Wealth Solutions for EMEA at Aon.
Michael Clare said:
“Ben Roe will work with other EMEA and global leaders to drive growth and provide new solutions for our clients – and, most importantly, their members. The DC market is an important area for Aon and one in which we are committed to investing in new solutions and advisory capability. This will require continuing innovation, strategic planning and implementation – all qualities that Ben has demonstrated in his current and previous roles at Aon.”
Ben Roe said:
“The question of how people save for their retirements is one that crosses all borders. While DC pensions in varying forms are becoming the most prevalent form of pension saving in several markets, there is great potential for their wider adoption in countries across EMEA and other regions. Globally we face a sizeable and growing retirement savings gap, but at Aon we are committed to enabling our clients to help their members have a better retirement.
“I am greatly looking forward to taking on this new role and to exploring both where the opportunities lie and to bringing Aon’s capabilities to new markets.”
