Willis, a WTW business, has announced the appointment of Dom Spinelli as Head of Transactional Insurance Claims for North America.
In this role, he will lead the claims function within Willis’ Alternative Asset Insurance Solutions (AAIS) division, overseeing the full lifecycle of transactional insurance claims, including representations and warranties, tax, and contingent matters.
Based in Boston, Spinelli will report to Simone Bonnet, Head of Transactional Insurance Solutions, North America at Willis.
He brings 15 years of experience in insurance and litigation to the role, having represented insurers in hundreds of complex claims across a wide range of insurance lines.
Spinelli joins Willis from VALE Insurance Partners, where he served as Head of Contingent & Litigation Risk, North America.
Prior to that, he spent three years at Liberty Mutual Insurance, most recently as Head of Contingent Legal Risk Insurance, Americas.
Earlier in his career, Spinelli worked as a litigator, managing a broad range of commercial and insurance coverage disputes across the U.S.
Bonnet commented, “Dom’s extensive experience—spanning litigation, underwriting, and claims—gives him a unique ability to guide clients through the most challenging aspects of transactional insurance.
“His diverse expertise strengthens our ability to provide innovative and effective solutions. We are excited to have him join the team and look forward to the valuable contributions he will make.”
In a recent LinkedIn post, Spinelli said, “After a rewarding nearly five years of underwriting R&W and contingent risks, I’ve decided to return to my “roots” on the claims side of the business. I’m excited to share that I have joined WTW as Head of Transactional Risk Insurance Claims.”
