Willis Re has appointed Cameron Hick as a director in its Australian business, focusing on client advocacy, strategic advice and structuring assistance and insights for Willis Re clients.

Mr Hick will relocate from Switzerland to take up this role in Sydney in February, reporting to CEO Australia John Philipsz, who says Mr Hick’s deep reinsurance experience and knowledge of the global markets will add to Willis Re’s core reinsurance structuring and placement capabilities.

“He is well known to our clients and has a strong alignment with our client advocacy model,” Mr Philipsz said. “We are excited to have him on-board.”

Mr Hick has more than 20 years’ experience in reinsurance. He has been based in Zurich since 2017 as a global accounts executive for Partner Re. He formerly held roles at Munich Re in Melbourne, Sydney and Germany, including as client manager and head of business planning.
