Aon announces leadership change as president steps down

Eric Andersen has stepped down from his role as president at Aon.

Andersen will now serve as senior advisor to chief executive Greg Case and will stay in the role until 2026, the broker said.

During this period, Case will take on the additional role of president.

The move comes following Andersen spending nearly 30 years with the broker.

“Across our global firm, you can see Andersen’s impact in the strength of our integrated offerings and expertise, the next-generation actionable analytics we’re introducing to clients and the innovative solutions we’re creating to address risk and people issues around the world,” Case said.

“On behalf of our 60,000 colleagues, I want to thank him for his leadership and the depth of the contributions he made to help position our firm to deliver distinctive value for our clients well into the future.”

Experience

Andersen joined Aon with the firm’s acquisition of Minet in 1997 and has played a role over the last 28 years in advancing the Aon United strategy.

Most recently as president, Andersen helped bring together Aon’s integrated risk capital and human capital capabilities and operationalise Aon’s 3x3 plan.

He also helped Aon complete its £10.6bn acquisition of NFP in April 2024.

Andersen said: “I’m deeply grateful to have spent nearly three decades with Aon, working alongside an incredibly talented group of colleagues, partners and clients.

“It’s been a privilege to be a part of such an exciting journey at Aon.

“With the firm’s 3x3 plan and a strong executive team in place, alongside the successful integration of NFP, now is the right time to move into an advisory role and I look forward to seeing the firm continue to grow and succeed in the years to come.”
