BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Aon names Eric Andersen, Michael O’Connor co-presidents

Aon P.L.C. on Tuesday said it has appointed Aon Benfield CEO Eric Andersen and Aon Risk Solutions CEO Michael O’Connor to the new positions of co-presidents of the brokerage, effective immediately, and will drop its Aon Benfield and Aon Risk Solutions brands.

As co-presidents, Messrs. Andersen and O’Connor will continue to report to Aon CEO Greg Case, whose contract was recently extended by the board of directors until April 2023, Aon said in a statement.

Mr. Case was previously president and CEO, an Aon spokeswoman said.

Mr. O’Conner, who is based in Chicago, joined Aon in 2008, while Mr. Andersen, who is based in New York, has been with the company for over 20 years.

Aon said it will drop the firm’s remaining business unit brands — Aon Risk Solutions and Aon Benfield — following the retirement of the Aon Hewitt business unit brand in 2017, and create an integrated global operating committee co-led by Messrs. Andersen and O’Connor.

Aon previously announced a single property and liability structure. That effort is overseen by Aon’s global CFO Christa Davies, whose contract was also extended until April 2023. Ms. Davis was named one of the 2008 Business Insurance Women to Watch.
