For the second year in a row, more professionals from Aon Risk Solutions, the global risk management business of Aon Corporation, received Risk & Insurance® Power Broker® awards than any other firm – taking home 46 of the 144 awards given across 24 industry categories. Aon leaders also dominated seven of the categories, including Aviation, Construction, Energy, Fine Arts, Global, Marine and Public Sector.
Two Aon professionals, Jim Aylsworth, managing director of Aon Risk Solutions’ Energy Specialty and Kevin Kalinich, managing director of Aon Risk Solutions’ Financial Services Group, received the distinguished honor of being named Responsibility Leader®; a designation presented to 10 Power Brokers whose achievements not only benefited their clients and company, but also positively impacted their communities.
In addition, continuing an unbreakable streak since the award’s inception in 2006, Marshall Nadel, managing director of Aon Risk Solutions’ Power Specialty, was named Power Broker for the sixth consecutive year.
Eighteen Aon professionals made the magazine’s Under 40s list, which identifies rising stars in the insurance industry.
“Earning a Power Broker award is a highly coveted recognition, not only because it represents the best in the industry, but because it is a direct recognition of the value delivered to clients,” said Steve McGill, chairman and chief executive officer of Aon Risk Solutions. “We congratulate all of the winners and finalists, and join them in our thanks to the risk managers whose voices determined this excellent result.”
