JASMINE GILBERT Data and analytics leader, global risk consulting, North America
Aon PLC
Tampa, Florida
When Jasmine Gilbert graduated from Florida State University, her goal to work in insurance consulting was put on hold. She wanted to pursue data and analytics, not actuarial-based, but there were few opportunities. After she worked as a demand planner and buyer for a large beauty company, the landscape shifted in insurance, and in 2014 she joined Aon as an operational analyst.
