Insurance broker Willis, a WTW business, has appointed James Gillespie as its new Head of Data & Analytics for its Global Direct & Facultative Specialty team.
His appointment aims to expand Willis’ client and product offering, leverage data insights to support client risk decision making, and provide Willis brokers with the ability to take new products to market.
For cedant clients, Gillespie will provide modelling insights and develop risk quantification and pricing tools that will enable them to underwrite new and emerging risks.

His industry expertise and specialised knowledge will help to drive outstanding client solutions and service, as well as fast-tracking our focus on data and digitalisation that will enable our brokers to deliver the next generation of risk transfer solutions to both our direct and cedant clients.”
