Thank you to all at Aon for hosting a truly informative session on managing risk and unlocking opportunity, from a treasurer's viewpoint.

Ciara Jackson (Cosgrave), Aon's Enterprise Client Lead, shared fascinating insights from their recent Global Risk Management Survey and the implications of the top risks for treasurers -
Treasurers are now navigating risk conditions that are more interconnected, cross-functional, and financially material than at any time in the last decade.
Cyber risk remains the #1 risk globally, and the rapid growth in AI is introducing new liabilities and operational dependencies
Geopolitical volatility entered the top 10 risks for the first time - increasing sanctions exposure, FX dislocation and counterparty risk.

Sarah Langwell, Director of Client Services, Aon, shared in depth information on captives and parametric insurance options available to treasurers –
How captives are now widely recognised as essential, strategic risk financing vehicles
Benefits of captives and protected cell companies – how they help organisations stabilise costs, improve capital efficiency and build a future proof approach to risk financing
Parametric Insurance, ensuring financial resilience by providing fast, transparent, event triggered liquidity

Our thanks also to our expert panellists -Kathryn Donagh, Treasurer and VP Finance of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, and Stuart Kirk, VP and Treasurer of Xerox. who closed the session with real life insights and learnings.
