Willis Group Holdings has hired a new head to run its international division of its reinsurance business, Willis Re.
Greg Solomon has been appointed regional director and head of life and health in the Asia Pacific, Middle East, Turkey and Africa (APMETA).
He will be based in Hong Kong and will begin leading the APMETA life and health team in May.
Solomon previously worked for reinsurance company Swiss Re. He managed its global reinsurance capital management team out of London, and most recently served as the head of life and health clients in Hong Kong, Taiwan and south-east Asia.
Solomon’s experience of the Asian market offers “significant value in the quantification of risk along with the design and placement of appropriate solutions”, he commented.
Maurice Williams, managing director of Willis Re APMETA, said: "We are delighted to have someone of Solomon’s calibre join our life and health team and are excited about the opportunities to work with existing and new clients across the APMETA region.”
