Aon Turns to Veterans for World Crisis Team
When the phone rings in the World Aware Operation Center at Aon Corp. in Chicago, the caller is probably someone having a bad day someone in the world.

These insurance warriors include Mike Kiewski, Chad Watson and Yesenia Ortiz. In this interview with Insurance Journal’s Andy Simpson, these three veterans discuss their work at Aon and how their military experience is paying off for them and Aon’s customers. This podcast and story are part of a series on veterans in the insurance industry.
