Aon has introduced a new leadership structure for its U.S. specialty distribution segment within Reinsurance Solutions, reinforcing its focus on growth, specialisation, and enhanced client delivery across the market.
The newly established leadership team is designed to strengthen Aon’s capabilities across excess and surplus (E&S) carriers, MGAs and MGUs, program business, hybrid fronting structures, and delegated authority platforms. The move reflects increasing demand for more integrated, data-driven solutions in a complex and evolving risk landscape.
At the centre of the new structure, Sarah Freitag has been appointed U.S. specialty distribution and E&S segment leader. She will oversee strategic direction, investment priorities, and cross-functional collaboration, working closely with Aon’s Commercial Risk, Reinsurance, capital advisory, and analytics teams to deliver unified client solutions.
Cory Schilling takes on the role of MGA segment leader, responsible for advancing Aon’s strategy across MGAs, MGUs, and delegated authority platforms, while strengthening relationships with key distribution partners.
Supporting growth initiatives, Cory Anderson has been named MGA growth leader, focusing on expanding program development and unlocking new platform opportunities across the segment.
Meanwhile, Max McClure will lead engagement with program-focused carriers, driving collaboration and portfolio-level strategies that support scalable growth and enhanced capacity solutions.
The leadership overhaul brings together Aon’s specialised expertise under a unified structure, aimed at improving coordination across its business lines and delivering more consistent, insight-led outcomes for clients and trading partners.
Steve Hofmann, CEO of Americas for Reinsurance Solutions, said the structure reflects Aon’s continued investment in talent and innovation, positioning the firm to better support clients navigating increasingly complex market dynamics.
The move highlights a broader industry trend toward integrated distribution models, where data, analytics, and cross-functional collaboration are becoming central to delivering differentiated value in specialty insurance markets.
