Aon goes gold for sales head
Aon has appointed Nick Green as its new head of sales for its global and corporate client segment, leading a national team of specialists who would be tasked with driving new business and supporting the national industry practice groups.
Green, a former Olympic rower, had joined Aon as head of sport after previously being chief executive for Cycling Australia.
After Olympic success with Oarsome Foursome, winning gold in the 1992 and 1996 Olympics and leading the Australian Olympic Team in 2012, he had worked across sport, public health and corporate sectors.
Green said he was excited to take on the role as the industry adapts and responds to the risks and opportunities of a shifting and dynamic global market.
“By identifying and qualifying risks, we can work hand in hand with our clients to build a roadmap of action, whether it be risk mitigation measures for emerging risks or providing a suite of tools or solutions specific to their needs,” Green said.
“It is this client-centric, data-led approach that allows Aon to be a trusted partner for our clients.”
