Specialty insurance and reinsurance broker McGill and Partners has appointed Nick Williams-Walker as group chief operating officer, effective September 23.
During his tenure at Aon, Williams-Walker played a key role in establishing the company’s operations in India. In addition to his career credentials, he currently chairs the technical group of the London Market Group’s Data Council.
McGill and Partners co-founder Stephen Cross, who has been serving as acting group COO since January 2022, will remain as strategy & innovation head with a focus on areas such as talent acquisition and brand & marketing. He will also maintain his responsibilities in overseeing the company’s European operations.
Chief executive and founder Steve McGill commented: “As we continue to pursue exceptional talent, we are delighted to welcome Nick as group chief operating officer of McGill and Partners. Nick brings extensive experience to an already strong and talented team, and we look forward to Nick joining the firm later this month.”
Recent appointments at McGill and Partners include Julien Horn, who joined earlier this year as a partner, expanding the company’s ports & terminals proposition.
“It is fantastic to welcome someone of Julien’s calibre to the team,” partner and ports & terminals head Julien Hubbard said at the time. “His business development skills, whether it be nurturing current relationships or exploring new opportunities, will be a tremendous asset to the firm.
“However, Julien will also bring a new dynamic to the team, and his skillset will undoubtedly enhance our ports & terminals offering.”
