Willis Group Holdings has announced the appointment of James Abraham, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the broker's Minneapolis office.
Bringing over 25 years of experience in the insurance sector, Mr Abraham's career includes most recently managing CNA's Minneapolis Branch office.
Prior to joining CNA, he was with The St. Paul Companies as AVP, Large Account Property and with Industrial Risk Insurers as their Regional Manager of the Minneapolis Branch office.
Mr Abraham plans for aggressive growth in the Minneapolis office primarily through continued organic growth via the client advocates already on board and by recruiting talent with a proven track record of success. In addition, acquisition opportunities will be explored that offer meaningful benefits to all parties involved.
Mr Abraham said: "Willis is unique in our business as we purposefully place the client at the centerpiece of how our operations are structured. Add to that a team approach with a culture of passion, urgency, and intellectual firepower and we are positioned exceptionally well for continued success. I am truly excited to join the Minneapolis office and further expand our presence via our client advocacy strategy."
