Aon CEO Greg Case said: “Earlier this year we took a series of steps, including the creation of the Aon Operating Committee, the appointment of our new co-presidents and our transition to a single Aon brand.
“All of which were designed to make it easier for our colleagues to bring the best of Aon to clients and help us deliver on the growth potential of our firm.
“With that growth foundation in place we are taking additional steps to further accelerate innovation that delivers new value to clients and expands the marketplace.”
The company has named Tony Goland as the new chief innovation officer and will be responsible for organising the Aon ventures group.
