Aon Benfield has appointed Chris Myers as head of rating agency advisory for its UK and Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions.

According to the broker, based in London, Mr Myers will guide reinsurers through the ratings process and advise them on the financial, operational and strategic issues that influence a company's financial strength rating.

He is also head of Aon Benfield's enterprise risk management practice globally and was previously based at the firm's New York office. As head of ERM, Mr Myers will continue to direct efforts assisting reinsurers with ERM framework support and related analytics.

Prior to joining Aon Benfield in September 2008, he was director and ERM specialist in financial institutions ratings at rating agency Standard & Poor's. He has more than 16 years of risk management experience in the financial services industry having also worked at Citigroup, Chubb Corporation and AIG.

Kelly Superczynski, global head of Aon Benfield analytics' rating agency advisory, said: "As business dynamics and rating agency criteria continue to evolve, reinsurers need to stay abreast of the metrics that matter most to their companies' ratings. Chris's unique combination of ERM expertise and rating agency experience will truly differentiate Aon Benfield Analytics' capabilities in the UK and EMEA and enable our clients to optimize their financial ratings."
