“We are excited to welcome Nolwandle and add her experience to the team. She will help position our capabilities in the evolving market environment to help our clients make better decisions. Nolwandle will join an already very successful Aon South Africa team, which was recently recognised as top employer by the top employers institute programme for the sixth consecutive year,” said Eduardo Dávila, CEO of Aon EMEA.
