Aon unveils new chief operating officer
Aon Plc has confirmed the appointment of James Platt as chief operating officer.

Back in January, Aon named its new executive committee members who were going to assume their respective positions upon completion of the mega merger. The line-up includes Platt, whose predecessor (John Bruno) stepped down with immediate effect two days prior to the roster announcement.

At the time, in light of the departure, Aon said Platt was going to assume some of Bruno’s responsibilities immediately while the ex-COO stayed on for a transition period. It was noted then that Platt would serve as chief operating officer once the Aon-WTW transaction finalized.
