Willis Group has appointed Charles Clarke as regional leader of construction in the Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA) region.
Clarke will draw on Willis’s industry knowledge and analytical tools to develop its growth strategy and client propositions for the high potential CEEMEA region.
He joined Willis in 2011 and is currently leader of the international casualty team in London. Clarke, who has more than 14 years of industry experience, is making a transition from his current role and will take the CEEMEA leadership role full-time from early October.
This new role includes and adds to the geographic responsibility of previous Middle East construction leader Keith Chapman, who moves into a new role concentrating on large and complex projects and key client advocacy.
Bill Creedon, global leader of construction at Willis, commented: “We see great potential in this exciting region, and our planned union with Gras Savoye will create more opportunities.”
“Clarke has a strong skillset [and] his background will help him make a clear impact in this newly-created regional post.”
Toby Wemyss, CEEMEA regional CEO at Willis, added: “Clarke really understands how to develop bespoke risk solutions for major clients by drawing on Willis’s global pools of expertise. His goal will be to expand and strengthen our offer to our clients and prospects, and delve into markets where major construction projects and risks are emerging.”
