Perry Golkin has announced he will not seek re-election at the upcoming AGM of shareholders to Willis' board of directors
Willis Group Holdings has announced that Perry Golkin, who has served on the company's board of directors since 2001, has advised Willis that he does not intend to seek re-election at the upcoming AGM of shareholders. Golkin is a member of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
“Perry Golkin has been a part of this Company since 1998 and has made a great many contributions that will last long after he leaves our board,” said Joe Plumeri, chairman and CEO of Willis. “Willis is a better company today because of his deep involvement from KKR's initial association to his on-going counsel as a director. Leadership, vision, dedication, hard work and friendship all come to mind when I think of Perry. He has always acted with great fiduciary care looking out for the best interests of our shareholders and I cannot thank him enough for his service.”
Golkin is the last of KKR's executives to leave the Willis Board which now is comprised of 11 members – ten of whom are independent.
