Aon Global Marine Appoints Shipping Talent
|
|
LONDON, 26 June 2006 – Aon Corporation, a leading insurance broker, risk management and human capital consultant, has appointed Panagiotis Tsakos as Assistant Manager for their Marine Global Practice Group.
Based in London, Mr Tsakos will be responsible for building relationships with Aon’s global offices to share industry information around the network to strengthen the team and, in turn, improve client service.
Coming from a family who have served the marine industry for more than three generations, Mr Tsakos cites his father, a captain for the merchant navy with a decorated career covering more than five decades, as a major influence in his decision to pursue a career in shipping.
Mr Tsakos gained invaluable experience by working for Tsakos Shipping & Trading, in Piraeus and London, as well as United Shipping (Goulandris). His knowledge of the shipping industry was enhanced through his studies in Commercial Operation of Shipping (HNC), Maritime Business and Management (BSc) and a Masters in Marine Operations.
Prior to joining Aon, Mr Tsakos worked in creditor insurance for six years.
In his new role, Mr Tsakos will be assisting the chairman of Aon’s Marine Global Practice Group, Steve Allum, who says: “Panagiotis will help take Aon’s marine network to the next level, through his business acumen and understanding of the shipping industry.”
Mr Tsakos added: “This is my opportunity to dispel the myth that a global broker can’t provide excellent local service and demonstrate Aon’s commitment to the maritime industry by investing considerable resources to build even stronger relationships through an increased presence in all the major markets.”
Outside of work, Mr Tsakos is an avid film fan, enjoys the outdoors and supports Liverpool FC.
