“Aon and Willis Towers Watson have a unique opportunity to create a combined firm that will make an even greater difference in the global economy and provide unparalleled experiences for our clients and colleagues,” said Greg Case, Aon CEO. “This talented team draws on the best of both from each organization and will be critical to delivering on the high aspirations we have for the new Aon.”
“As we learned more about each other’s organizations, it became clear that a fundamental driver of our success will be leaders who fully embrace a one firm mindset,” said John Haley, CEO, Willis Towers Watson. “The willingness to put the needs of clients and the entire organization ahead of their part of the business and any individual priorities will be the key to unlocking the full potential of the planned combination for the benefit of all our stakeholders.”
Following completion of the proposed combination, the following leaders will join Case, as CEO, and Christa Davies, as Chief Financial Officer, in forming the new Aon Executive Committee.
The new Aon Executive Committee will lead teams working together across regions, solution lines and functions to accelerate innovation and bring the best of the combined firm to clients.
“All of the leaders we are announcing today are highly accomplished and true advocates of the one firm mindset that will be at the core of the new Aon,” said Case. “We are confident that our combined firm, with this leadership team, will help us address the most pressing areas of client need and provide compelling new opportunities for our colleagues.”
