Broker poaches from Motorola to fill compliance post
Aon has named Laurel Meissner, a former financial executive from Motorola, as its new global controller to replace Dan Hunger, who is retiring.
Meissner will report to Christa Davies, chief financial officer, and will be responsible for accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and financial controls, compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, Securities and Exchange (SEC) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) regulation and standards, and financial operations across all lines of business globally for Aon.
"Our financial management team works with our business leaders to maximize the returns for shareholders and to improve the efficiency of Aon's global finance organization," Davies said. "Laurie's extensive experience in accounting, financial reporting and controls will strengthen our firm's ability to drive business decisions so that we can continue to deliver the best value for our clients."
Since 2000, Meissner has held several positions at Motorola, most recently as chief accounting officer. Before joining Motorola, Meissner held positions with Initiate Systems, Cruise Technologies, and KPMG.
