The reinsurance arm of brokerage giant Willis Towers Watson has strengthened its Western Europe team with the recruitment of Ronnie Carroll from a rival firm.
Carroll has been appointed as Willis Re’s head of structured solutions for Europe West and senior UK client advisor. He will report directly to Alkis Tsimaratos, managing director and head of Europe West.
“Willis Re has an impressive track record in Europe and is at the forefront of the enormous changes currently taking place in the reinsurance market,” Carroll said.
“I am pleased to be joining the team at this time and will focus on delivering the advice and solutions our clients need in order to develop and grow our business in this important region,” he added.
Carroll joins from Hannover Re where he served as a senior underwriter with responsibility for the company’s advanced solutions business in the UK and Ireland.
He has also held several senior underwriting and finance roles across the reinsurance and financial services industries including at General Reinsurance and
Swiss Re.
“The appointment of Ronnie will further strengthen this effort and I know that his talent, experience and market relationships will add significant value to our client offering,” Tsimaratos said.
James Mounty, global practice leader for customised solutions, said that Carroll has a “great profile in the market.”
“His extensive knowledge of capital related solutions will only serve to enhance the team’s already impressive capabilities,” Mounty said.
