THE BUSINESS CHIEF INTERVIEW

Eduardo Dávila has not only enjoyed the immense pleasure of accompanying Severiano Ballesteros around many of Spain ’ s stunning courses , but also succeeded in transferring practical experience from the professional golfing world to his career in business .

Dávila recently stepped up to become Senior Advisor to Aon CEO Greg Case having previously served as a CEO himself , looking after the EMEA region . He is a firm believer that achieving business success goes hand in hand with prioritising loved ones .

“ Without my family ’ s support , I wouldn ’ t be where I am today ,” says Dávila . “ While my children won ’ t remember quarterly reports or business achievements , they will remember their dad being there on special days .

“ It ’ s always worth reminding oneself to be present during those precious moments that shape our family bonds .”

Progressing through the ranks Dávila spent four years in banking as an Investment Advisor with BBVA before joining Aon in 2002 to become Director of Corporate Business in Spain . Over the years he progressed through the ranks to lead the company in Portugal , Iberia and the Middle East , before taking the reins for the EMEA region in 2021 and becoming Senior Advisor to Case in November of this year .

These days , the organisation ’ s core activities are focused on the two primary categories of client need : risk capital , including commercial risk and reinsurance , and human capital , encompassing health , wealth and talent .

“ We help our clients shape business decisions for the better ,” explains Dávila . “ We work with our clients , providing them with the advice and solutions that give them the clarity and confidence to make better decisions to protect and grow their businesses .

“ Our collaborative approach ensures every Aon client is better informed , better advised and able to make better decisions on a global and local level .”
