Global re/insurance broker Aon has appointed John Bruno to serve as Chief Operating Officer alongside his existing role leading development of the firm’s business services platform.
Reporting to Aon Chief Executive Officer, Greg Case, Bruno will also continue as CEO of Data & Analytic Services and add the firm’s technology-enabled Affinity offerings to that portfolio.
Aon also announced plans to name a single CEO of each of its four regions – North America, Latin America, EMEA and Asia Pacific.
This effort, led by newly-announced president Eric Andersen, represents an acceleration of the Aon United growth strategy.
The broker has explained how this new leadership strategy will leverage best practices to increase collaboration across lines, improve sales, strengthen its segmentation strategy, and make it easier for colleagues to deliver value to clients.
Previous structural changes, Aon notes, include the adoption of a single P&L structure, the move to a single Aon brand and the creation of a single operating committee.
“Our firm has made tremendous progress in our Aon United journey, but there is still so much we can and will accomplish together,” said Case.
“We will continue to accelerate the application of new technologies to drive growth and make it easier for our colleagues to help clients make better decisions.
“John’s experience as a technologist and business leader gives him a unique appreciation for how we can apply technology to increase operating leverage that powers the Aon United Blueprint and delivers more value to clients.”
