The firm has signed an agreement with Khurram Alikhan, CEO of Aon Pakistan, to enable him to acquire 100 percent of Aon’s shareholding in its local subsidiary Aon Insurance Brokers (Private) Ltd. This management buyout is based on mutual agreement and will enable Aon to continue to serve clients in Pakistan and international clients with requirements in the country.
