The bulletin noted that this “is a new appointment.” Rajab will report to Aon Benfield’s co-CEOs of EMEA, Richard Posgate and Alan Gregory.
He most recently served as Regional Director Middle East & North Africa at Willis Re, and has previously worked as a Middle East treaty underwriter at reinsurer SOREMA, which was acquired by reinsurer SCOR in 2001, and as a broker at intermediary Gras Savoye Re in Paris, then Willis Re, since 2002.
