LONDON, 16 January 2025 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, has announced Matt Duffy as chief commercial officer for Global Benefits. Based in the UK, Duffy will report to Aon’s head of Global Benefits, Michael Pedel, and will lead the development and execution of the Global Benefits commercial strategy.
Matt Duffy returns to Aon from Mercer Marsh Benefits, where he served as global commercial leader from 2017, establishing the commercial function and driving global growth strategies for multinational solutions. Earlier in his career, Matt spent six years at Aon as head of online consulting, focusing on employee benefits communication and administration solutions.
Matt will work with the Global Benefits team to create tailored, data-led and technology-enabled solutions for multinational clients seeking to optimise their global employee benefits and retirement programmes, with an emphasis on strengthening Aon’s commercial strategy and sales propositions across its Global Benefits portfolio.
Michael Pedel, head of Global Benefits at Aon, said:
“In this newly created role, Matt Duffy will lead Aon’s ‘go-to-market’ strategy for multinational organisations, as we combine our Global Benefits and International Wealth businesses. The need for employers to optimise global benefits expenditure, exceed the expectations of the evolving demands of their employees, and to comply with constantly changing legislative requirements, is greater than ever. Aon’s ability to deliver holistically across the areas of Health, Wealth and Talent is now even more important as organisations battle to retain and develop their talent.
“We are very pleased that Matt is returning to Aon as we accelerate our focus on multinationals globally. He brings incredible knowledge, experience and creative thinking.”
