• Drive cross-line collaboration (property, liability, SDI, professional liability) to deliver integrated solutions
• Support innovation through analytics, structured claim strategies, and program design enhancements

• Serving as a core differentiator in Aon's go-to-market strategy for construction clients

This role is central to how Aon wins new business, deepens client relationships, and delivers industry-leading outcomes in Construction & Infrastructure.
