Willis Re, the reinsurance arm of global brokerage Willis Towers Watson, has appointed Cameron Green to lead its international casualty reinsurance practice and serve as chair of its Australian business.
Green, who has been Willis Re’s Chief Executive Officer in Australia since 2013, will be responsible for the casualty practice segment’s growth and development across Willis Re’s International business.
He will also work on specific projects within the Asia Pacific region.
John Philipsz, who was the deputy CEO of Willis Re Australia, has been appointed as the Chief Executive.
“The two executive positions will enhance the services and capabilities we provide to our clients throughout the region,” said Mark Morley, managing director of Asia Pacific at Willis Re.
“At the same time, Cameron will continue to support Willis Re’s strategic development in Australia and New Zealand, playing a key advocacy role for a number of clients throughout these markets.”
Commenting on his appointment, Green said, “Willis Re has identified the Casualty segment as a key opportunity for its International business, and I’m excited to be able to open doors for clients in such a dynamic area of reinsurance.
“It is an environment characterised by continuous changing demand for coverage. Furthermore, a closer working relationship with our US business and colleagues will be of significant benefit for our International business.”
“I’m delighted to be assuming the CEO role and will continue to develop the client-focused platform that has thrived under Cameron’s leadership,” Philipsz added.
“We have an exceptionally talented team and will carry on investing in our business to ensure that we provide our clients with leading strategic advisory and execution capabilities.
“We are focused on delivering innovative solutions for our clients across disaster and climate resilience, capital and portfolio optimisation, income diversification and growth, as well as traditional risk transfer and protection options.”
