Ms Dean said, “I am excited to be leading the Aon Master Trust during a period of growth and change, as we implement our broader retirement and investment strategy.”

“The crucial priority for our talented local team is leveraging our global thought leadership and local customer insights to implement member and client led solutions, and deliver better retirement outcomes as well as enhanced financial wellness,” she said.

“Our relationships with key strategic partners will also be vital to implement collaborative solutions as the concept of work and retirement evolves.”
