CHICAGO - Aon Risk Solutions, the global risk management business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), today announced several promotions within the company’s Northeast region of the United States. Jennifer Bell and John Moskal will assume new roles as Dan D’Alessandro, Northeast regional leader and Pittsburgh resident managing director, enters the first phase of his retirement in 2014.

Bell, who has more than 25 years of experience with Aon, will become the new leader for the Northeast region. Since 2011, Bell has served as resident managing director of Aon Risk Solutions’ Northeast Ohio operations, consisting of Cleveland, Columbus, Akron and Canfield, where she has a proven track record of growth and operational excellence.

Moskal will succeed Dan D’Alessandro as resident managing director for Pittsburgh. Moskal joined Aon in 2011 as resident sales director and is intimately familiar with the Pittsburgh market after serving in several senior leadership roles in the industry.

“Our ability to source the next generation of leaders from within is a testament to the talent we have across the firm,” said Tom Fitzgerald, CEO of Aon Risk Solutions U.S. Retail operations. “Over the last several years, we have focused on thoughtful succession planning and talent development strategies to ensure continuity for clients, colleagues and carriers and are excited by the continued success of those efforts.”

D’Alessandro has served as Pittsburgh’s resident managing director for 13 years, during which time the Pittsburgh office has emerged as one of Aon’s highest performing assets. In addition to transitioning and supporting the new resident managing director and regional leader, Dan will continue his role as a senior client contact and business development executive.

Fitzgerald added, “Throughout his career at Aon, Dan has helped position the company as a market leader and has demonstrated an outstanding focus on client service. We thank him for all he has done, and will continue to do, for Aon.”
