Willett will oversee several industry practices, including financial institutions, food and agriculture, health care, heavy industries, real estate, pharmaceutical and chemical as well as technology.

As managing director for Aon’s New England office, Willett served on the Aon Risk Solutions’ leadership team with a focus on new clients and client retention.

“Industry expertise and intellectual capital are both key components of the Aon Client Promise as well as the two qualities that best define John Willett,” said Warren Mula, global CEO of Aon Broking. “We are thrilled to place John in such a key role as we continue to invest in Aon’s industry leadership and further expand our areas of specialization.”
Launched this year, Aon Broking integrates Aon Risk Solutions’ broking infrastructure across the unit’s retail, wholesale and specialty businesses in 120 countries to provide clients with the benefit of a consistent global approach on a local level.
