Knight, chair of Aon's board, remarks: "Admiral Stavridis' experience as a retired four-star US naval officer, partner and vice chair for global affairs at Carlyle, and board chair of the Rockefeller Foundation will bring new insights to our board as we look to deliver more value for Aon's clients, colleagues, and shareholders." Admiral Stavridis highlights: “I am excited to join Aon's Board as the firm accelerates its strategy to help business decision makers take action to address interconnected risks in an increasingly complex and volatile world.”
