Prior to Aon, he was a principal at McKinsey & Company focused on the high-tech sector.

Bal started his career in the technology group at Marks & Spencer, a leading retailer in the United Kingdom, and he has also held leadership positions at JP Morgan, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and Ford Motor Company.

He also managed JDA’s strategic initiatives around Flowcasting and the 3PL business. Gaurav has held a variety of global leadership positions during his tenure at JDA, i2 Technologies, and Ernst & Young. In that time he gained broad experience across management consulting, product management, product marketing and sales management for the supply chain and retail domains.
