Aon’s 2017 Business Insurance Women to Watch
“Aon is committed to embedding diversity and inclusion into our daily interactions, from attracting, retaining and promoting the best talent across risk, retirement and health to empowering results for our clients, colleagues and communities.”
Greg Case, Aon President and CEO
Business Insurance Women to Watch Awards is one of the insurance industry’s leading programs, recognizing extraordinary leaders who are making a difference within their organizations and the broader industry. This year, Aon celebrates three women from across the globe.
“The goal is to get to a situation where a woman assuming responsibilities in our industry will not be considered a ‘diversity’ anymore but as a normal representation of the global population working in insurance with obvious diversified talents.”
