Decades of Women in Leadership

Aon’s 2018 Business Insurance Women to Watch

Business Insurance Women to Watch Awards is one of the insurance industry’s most prestigious awards programs, recognizing extraordinary leaders who are making a difference within their organizations and the broader industry.

This year, Aon celebrates three women from across the globe: Nina Boone, Jane Kielty and Leonora Siccardi.

 

“We are committed at Aon to fostering a work environment where opportunity and success are defined by one's character and capability. These three talented leaders demonstrate what can happen when our colleagues bring their best and authentic selves to work and I am immensely grateful for Nina, Jane and Leonora’s tremendous contributions and leadership.”
Greg Case, CEO

 

“I believe in collaboration, and that one never wins – or loses – alone. If you are going to get to the results you want and need, you must work with others who bring different ideas and expertise,”
Nina Boone

“To remain at the forefront of the industry and produce cutting edge work, I’ve learned that teams must continuously collaborate, which means wholeheartedly listening to each other. We must also embrace a diverse culture that offers a variety of opinions, ideas and strategies, as diversity of thought paves the way for innovation. Through my Business Insurance nomination, I hope to encourage and foster a positive environment for diversity and inclusion, and increase the momentum that has been built across the industry in this regard”
