Gregory C. Case has been the CEO of Aon plc since 2005. Under his leadership, Aon has grown into a leading global provider of insurance and reinsurance brokerage and human resources solutions. He studied economics at the University of Illinois and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School, giving him a strong background in finance. In a notable move in 2023, Case aligned his bonus payout with performance goals and chose to accept only 68% of his potential bonus, opting to receive it entirely in performance share units. Over time, he has demonstrated a commitment to prioritizing company performance by sometimes foregoing bonuses and actively participating in employee compensation decisions. Case's employment contract has seen several revisions, reflecting the changing landscape of executive compensation. He no longer receives automatic stock option grants but participates in the Leadership Performance Program, which sets realistic targets for long-term incentives. His pay varies according to performance metrics that include earnings growth and revenue increases. Interestingly, he relocated to London to better contribute to Aon’s global strategy, further illustrating his focus on aligning personal goals with company aims. With substantial vested stock from past grants, he's financially tied to Aon’s success, reinforcing the philosophy that leadership should be about shared success and sustainable growth.
