Aon-WTW reveal post-merger leadership structure with 'one firm' vision
Aon and Willis Towers Watson have revealed the post-merger leadership structure that will be put in place following the completion of their proposed $30 billion deal that will create the world’s biggest insurance broker.
The new leadership team will serve under chief executive officer (CEO) Greg Case and chief financial officer (CFO) Christa Davies.
In a joint statement, Aon and WTW said that the new executive committee will lead teams working together across regions, solution lines and functions to accelerate innovation and bring the best of the combined firm.
Case emphasised on a 'one firm' approach, stating that the new leadership team will come together to deliver new sources of value to clients and create new opportunities for colleagues.
"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 Case. "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."
John Haley, CEO of Willis Towers Watson, added: "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. The willingness to put the needs of clients and the entire organisation 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."
