Greatest influence: "There's been a couple of people in my career who have been mentors: Michael Bungert, who is the president and CEO of Aon Re, has been a mentor for me for my entire career and continues to be, and Michael O'Halleran, who is chairman of Aon Re. I've been very fortunate to have mentors throughout my career that have made a difference. I really think there's a lot of people who have had a hand in my career."
