Global professional services firm Aon plc has announced that Birmingham-based Debbie Peters has been promoted to chief commercial officer for the firm’s UK Commercial Risk business. She will report to Jane Kielty, UK CEO at Aon.
Having joined Aon over 15 years ago, Debbie most recently held the position of regional managing director with responsibility for both the northern and central areas of the business.
In her new role, Debbie will continue to be a key member of the UK’s Commercial Risk Executive Committee and take a central role in several initiatives planned in 2024, including the development of new tools and propositions. She will be co-located between Birmingham and London so that she can continue to support regional clients.
Jane Kielty said: “Throughout her career with Aon, Debbie has demonstrated her commitment both to the clients she serves, as well as to the teams around her. Her passion for supporting others within the business and driving forward social mobility is infectious, and I don’t doubt she will be hugely successful in this new role.”
Debbie said: “It is a privilege to take on this new role at a time of such significant growth for Aon’s Commercial Risk business. In 2024, we have already secured several strategically important new clients, and I am looking forward to working with the team to further strengthen our proposition as we help our clients navigate new forms of volatility.
“Taking on a role with national significance while maintaining a foothold within the Birmingham team and continuing to work with clients based here is a dream scenario.”
