Amon Wedderburn

Growing up, the Berkley Institute student knew little of the International Business world until his sister urged him to apply for an internship at Aon – a name he admits he recognised only for its place on the Manchester United kit. He is now well-versed in the industry after gaining further experience at Butterfield Bank, Fidelis and Hamilton Re while studying Legal Studies and Risk Management at St. John’s University in New York. Seeking a career that would bring stability despite any rupturing events like 9/11, and now Covid-19, after graduating in May 2020, he joined Convex’s International Property Treaty team in November. He said that while the US gave him confidence and exposure, Bermuda gives him access.
“Bermuda is the hub of insurance and reinsurance. Whether you’re speaking with a technical assistant or an executive vice president, they will take the time to really sit down and really engage with you. That helps develop that hunger and drive.”
