The global advisory and professional services firm Aon has appointed Manuel Pachlatko as Analytics Leader for Switzerland. In this role, he will be responsible for expanding the company’s analytics capabilities in the Swiss market and integrating data-driven insights more strongly into its broking and advisory services. The aim is to help clients identify risks at an early stage and make well-informed decisions in risk management, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

Alongside his new role, Pachlatko will continue to serve as Head of Cyber for Switzerland and Austria.

Data Analytics Becoming Increasingly Important

Risk analytics is becoming increasingly important for companies seeking to better understand, quantify and manage risks across different business areas. Aon relies on advanced analytical methods and specialised tools to achieve this.

According to the company, these instruments provide concrete recommendations for action, which feed both into the structuring of risk transfer solutions and into long-term strategies aimed at strengthening corporate resilience.

By integrating analytics more closely into broking activities, risks become more measurable and therefore easier to manage, Pachlatko said.

Expansion of the Advisory Platform

Raphael Schmid, Chief Commercial Officer of Aon Switzerland, also emphasised the strategic importance of the appointment. With Pachlatko’s nomination, the company is taking an important step in the further development of its Risk Capital and Human Capital offerings. Aon aims to provide clients in Switzerland with increasingly connected, data-driven and holistic advisory services in the future.
