Pastrick will oversee Aon’s health solutions business in North America, supporting clients as they navigate major developments shaping the healthcare and benefits landscape. These include the introduction of new treatments, changing employee well-being expectations and the growing influence of technology across the industry.
Based in Washington, D.C., he reports to Anne Corona, CEO, North America, and Byron Beebe, CEO, Human Capital. He succeeds Farheen Dam, currently CEO of corporate clients and chief client officer at Aon.
Pastrick will be responsible for integrating the company’s capabilities to help organizations solve increasingly complex health and wellness issues. His focus will include supporting clients in managing healthcare costs, improving workforce outcomes and making smarter business decisions.

Aon emphasized that Pasterick brings more than two decades of experience to the position, including more than 13 years with the company. Most recently, he led Aon’s health business in the Northeast, where he was responsible for driving strategy and growth for a variety of clients.
In this role, he works closely with organizations to align healthcare initiatives with broader business goals, particularly during periods of organizational change such as mergers and acquisitions. The company also cited his experience leading multidisciplinary teams to deliver coordinated, customer-focused solutions.
Commenting on his appointment, Pastrick said: “Organizations are going through a period of significant change in health care and benefits, which presents both challenges and opportunities. Aon is uniquely positioned to help clients make better decisions by combining our consulting expertise, data and analytics, and delivery capabilities.
