“Our strong start to the year reflects continued execution of our 3x3 plan and progress accelerating our client‑centric Aon United strategy,” president and CEO Greg Case said.

“Our long‑standing focus on these client segments, along with our investments in analytics, technology and innovative capital solutions, is expanding our addressable market.

“As a result, we are well positioned to deepen our relevance with clients and deliver durable growth and long‑term shareholder value.”
