John Neal will leave Lloyd’s of London in 2025, resigning as CEO after more than six years in the role. In a statement, Lloyd’s said he will become Global CEO of Aon’s reinsurance business as well as Global Chairman of Climate Solutions.
His departure follows that of Bruce Carnegie-Brown who, last year, announced his resignation as Chair. Bruce will be replaced by Charles Roxburgh in May 2025. “During 2025, John will continue to support both the planned succession of a new Chair of the Council of Lloyd’s and the executive leadership transition,” he said, at the time.
Sheila Cameron, CEO of the Lloyd’s Market Association, said the trade body would “look forward to working with both the outgoing and incoming Chair on the selection process for the next CEO of Lloyd’s.”
Lloyd’s has declined to comment on succession planning following John’s departure, reports Reuters.
In a separate statement, Aon confirmed that the former Lloyd’s CEO will report to Andy Marcell, CEO of Risk Capital at Aon, and serve as a member of the firm's risk capital leadership team.
