Subject: Aon COO Mindy Simon on winning with better data

A blueprint for moving from “not yet” to “better”

With a career spanning finance, global business services, and technology, Mindy Simon has become known for her ability to bridge the worlds of business and technology and design organizations that not only launch but can sustain transformation.


After our conversation for the Tech Whisperers podcast, Mindy and I spent some more time unpacking a bold declaration she made during her presentation at a recent Investor Day: “We have better data.” In this article for my CIO Whisperers column, Mindy discusses why better data matters, what it means for business enablement and margin impact, and how her data journey can serve as a blueprint for moving from “not yet” to “better.”

Coming Up Wed., Oct. 22: Ken Pennington


My guest next Whisperers Wednesday is Ken Pennington, Chief Digital, Technology, & Integration Officer at RelaDyne, where he oversees digital and business technology strategies as well as integration management and ESG strategy.


While great leaders are always leaders as learners, the very best are leaders as teachers—and Ken is the ultimate example of what it means to live out that mantra. Tune in next Wednesday as we explore the 8 pillars of his leadership excellence playbook, digging into what I call his ”Ken-isms,” the teaching tools that help him lead, mentor, and multiply leaders.
