Willis Group Holdings (NYSE: WSH), the global risk advisor and insurance broker, has announced important changes to the leadership team at Willis Re Australia Limited, effective April 1, 2013.
Michael Harden, the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will move to become Chairman. During his six year tenure as CEO, Willis Re Australia has enjoyed impressive growth and services a wide variety of clients across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
Harden commented: The organic growth of our business in recent years has been in large part due to the strength of our people and the culture within the organisation. Willis Re Australia is leading the way in providing a holistic analytical broker service offering to clients, and this is reflected in the new leadership team, who bring together a wealth of reinsurance, advisory and analytical skills.
Cameron Green will take over as CEO to lead Willis Re Australia as it continues to grow and produce increasingly innovative solutions. Green has been with the organisation for seven years and currently holds the position of Chief Operating Officer.
Green will be joined in the leadership team by Ty Birkett and Karl Jones, who will both become Managing Directors. Jones has 17 years experience with Willis Re and Birkett joined Willis Re Australia in 2005. The overall experience of the new leadership team highlights the depth of knowledge and continuity that it will offer during this time of transition.
Green commented: In recent years broking organisations have become increasingly focussed on broader risk management and analytics, including catastrophe and financial modelling.
Willis Re has been at the forefront of this innovation, and this is reflected in the reinsurance and risk management solutions we develop to add value for our clients. Our team and one-flag approach at Willis Re means that current and future leaders will also be drawn from a wider background than has traditionally been the case in reinsurance brokers, bringing wider opportunities throughout the organisation.
The re/insurance industry is constantly redefining itself, said John Cavanagh, Chief Executive Officer of Willis Re. Insurers and reinsurers need to embrace a wider range of challenges than ever before, whether in the form of increasingly complex catastrophe modelling, big data, legal or regulatory issues. To reflect this, in recent years, Willis Re has focused on building a range of skills specifically designed to ensure a detailed understanding of the industry, and which allow us to provide a far more consultative approach.
