Acrisure hires ex-Marsh leader to lead aviation expansion

Acrisure London Wholesale has expanded into the aviation market with the launch of a new specialist division.

Jonny Rowling has been appointed to lead the division, with him taking up the role of senior vice president and head of aviation at the broker. 

In his new role, Rowling is responsible for building and scaling the practice and driving growth across key markets.

Rowling will also add continuity and market expansion to the pre-existing Acrisure Aerospace group covering light aircraft to commercial fleets and all other nuanced and complex aerospace placements. 

“I’m excited to join Acrisure London Wholesale at such a pivotal stage in its growth,” he said.

”The opportunity to establish and expand a dedicated aviation practice within Acrisure’s global network is an incredible opportunity.

“There is significant potential to deliver innovative solutions to clients across the aviation sector and I look forward to working closely with the team to build a strong and differentiated offering.”

Experience

Bringing over 15 years’ experience in the aviation sector, Rowling joins from Marsh, where he most recently served as co-head of general aviation and placement leader.

Prior to Marsh, he spent seven years at Lockton, where he started as a broker in 2011 before taking the position of assistant vice president and aviation broker in 2015. 

He will report to Acrisure London Wholesale managing director Tom Quy in his new role.

Quy said: “Rowling’s appointment reflects our continued investment in building specialist capabilities within Acrisure London Wholesale.

”Aviation is a dynamic and globally connected market and Rowling brings deep expertise and strong relationships that will enable us to develop a compelling proposition for clients and trading partners. As we continue to expand our platform, attracting talented leaders like Rowling is central to our long-term growth strategy.”
