Aon plc announced that Anne Corona will become the Chief Executive Officer of its North America division, effective immediately, while Lori Goltermann will assume the role of Vice Chair of the company’s executive committee, effective March 31, 2026.
The change is part of Aon’s long‑running “Aon United” strategy, which seeks to integrate risk‑capital and human‑capital expertise across the firm. By placing Corona—who has led Enterprise Clients and Global Commercial operations—at the helm of North America, Aon aims to accelerate the strategy’s rollout in the region and build on the momentum generated by the Q4 2025 earnings beat.
Corona brings more than 25 years of experience at Aon, having served as CEO of Enterprise Clients and Global Chief Commercial Officer. Her appointment signals a focus on deepening client relationships and expanding the firm’s commercial footprint in North America, where the company has seen solid growth in its Commercial Risk Solutions and Reinsurance Solutions segments.
Goltermann, a 30‑year veteran of Aon, will continue to provide strategic counsel as Vice Chair. In a statement, she said, “I’m energized by the opportunity to continue to work closely with colleagues to serve our clients across their highest priority areas of Risk Capital and Human Capital while also helping to shape the firm’s talent agenda.”
The leadership reshuffle also includes Farheen Dam’s appointment as CEO of Enterprise Clients and Chief Client Officer, effective immediately, underscoring Aon’s broader effort to align senior talent with its growth priorities.
Aon’s Q4 2025 results, released on January 30, 2026, showed adjusted earnings per share of $4.85—$0.10 above the $4.75 consensus—while total revenue of $4.30 billion fell 1.7% below expectations. The earnings beat was driven by a 220‑basis‑point expansion of adjusted operating margin to 35.5%, a result of disciplined cost control and a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin commercial and reinsurance work. Full‑year 2025 guidance now projects mid‑single‑digit organic revenue growth, a 70‑80‑basis‑point margin expansion, and double‑digit free‑cash‑flow growth, reflecting confidence in the firm’s execution and the continued relevance of the Aon United strategy.
The appointments reinforce Aon’s commitment to a unified, client‑centric approach in North America. By elevating leaders with deep regional expertise and aligning them with the firm’s strategic priorities, Aon seeks to sustain its recent financial momentum and position the North America division for continued growth in a competitive market.
