Why Ken Scaggs left Miami’s sunny skies to lead Aon’s local office

For the past year, Ken Scaggs has led the Pittsburgh office of commercial insurance broker Aon. The agency, with its office here based downtown, employs around 60 locally, and it focuses on insurance and risk management offerings in a wide range of areas, including cyber risk, employee health and benefits, retirements and pensions. Scaggs was called to Pittsburgh from Miami in November 2024 following the departure of former Pittsburgh office leader Sherri Grasak, and he brings with him several decades of experience in the insurance industry, with a particular focus in the area of cyber insurance. His most recent role prior was as senior vice president and leader for Aon’s Cyber Solutions team in the Southeast region.
