Willis Towers Watson has promoted Trent Williams to Head of Broking Australasia and Juan Florez to Head of Carrier Management Asia-Pacific.

Mr Williams, who was most recently construction broking director, will be responsible for identifying and implementing innovative broking solutions across the company.

Mr Florez was previously manager of carrier engagement and platforms in Australasia.

He will work with Willis Towers Watson’s carriers to enhance their insurance offerings, reporting to Mr Williams.

Mr Florez’s role is a newly created position.

A WTW spokesman told insuranceNEWS.com.au the role of Head of Broking has been expanded to include new responsibilities as the company strategically reinforces its expertise in this key area.

Helene Madell, who is now with Aon, previously held a similar function.
