Willis Re, a global reinsurance brokerage that provides risk transfer solutions and advisory services to insurers, has announced the appointment of Chris Eaton to its aviation reinsurance team.

Eaton brings more than 30 years of experience in the aviation reinsurance sector, with a background spanning claims, technical wordings and account management.

He began his career at JTG/JLT, where he held a variety of roles before joining Willis Re in 2004. He later returned to JLT, taking on responsibility for the Broker Support team while also serving as a Senior Account Manager.

Most recently, Eaton spent close to a decade at Guy Carpenter, where he was part of the aviation team managing reinsurance programmes for a number of major clients. Eaton is recognised within the market for his client-focused approach and his emphasis on delivering consistent support.

Lucy Clarke, Board Member of Willis Re, commented: “We are pleased to welcome Chris to Willis Re as we continue to strengthen our aviation broking capability. His depth of experience and client-focused approach further enhances our ability to deliver high‑quality solutions across the aviation market.”
