NFP Names Caleb Noel EVP and CFO Amid Strategic Realignment

NFP, a subsidiary of Aon specializing in property and casualty brokerage and benefits consulting, has promoted Caleb Noel to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Noel, based in Austin, will report to NFP CEO Doug Hammond and collaborate closely with the finance team at Aon. This leadership change follows the recent sale of NFP affiliates Wealthspire Advisors, Fiducient Advisors, Newport Private Wealth, and related platforms to Madison Dearborn Partners, which was finalized in late October 2025. Noel brings over two decades of experience to his CFO role, having held various finance and operational leadership positions within NFP for 23 years. He previously served as Senior Vice President of Finance and Operations and has a background that includes financial roles at Scottish Re and Prudential Securities. Noel will succeed Brett Schneider and lead a finance team that includes Mike Campbell, recently promoted to EVP and Chief Accounting Officer, overseeing NFP's accounting functions. The appointment underscores NFP’s focus on strengthening its financial leadership following strategic divestitures. CEO Doug Hammond highlighted Noel's extensive understanding of NFP’s business, sales, and organizational culture as key to driving long-term financial strategies and scalability. The leadership changes aim to support NFP’s continued growth as it adjusts its portfolio and business operations. Noel expressed commitment to collaborating across the organization to drive financial excellence and seize strategic opportunities during this new phase. These developments reflect broader industry trends where firms optimize leadership to enhance financial performance and respond to market changes post-divestiture. The integration with Aon's finance team further positions NFP to streamline financial operations and reinforce its market presence. This transition in NFP’s finance leadership follows significant structural changes and signals an emphasis on robust financial governance and operational excellence within the company’s brokerage and consulting services sectors. Market observers will likely monitor how this leadership shift impacts NFP’s strategic initiatives and financial outcomes in the coming quarters.
