Insurance broker Willis Group Holdings has added three new appointments to its reinsurance arm, Willis Re.

The appointments have been made in an effort to strengthen the global strategic Shaping Our Future programme which aims to deliver growth and performance through a series of initiatives.

The president of Willis Re US, John Ehinger, has been named as global chief operating officer, with responsibility for leading the Shaping Our Future strategy within Willis Re.

Ehinger will retain his present position for the time being, with a successor taking on the presidency of Willis Re US towards the end of the year.

Mark Lever becomes chief administrative officer for Willis Re on a global basis and is to be based in London.

He receives the promotion to move up from the role of managing director for operations and will collaborate closely with Ehinger on the Shaping Our Future strategy.

Iain Pocock stays on with Willis Re as chief financial officer, but will take on additional responsibilities.

Pocock will work alongside Ehinger and Lever to help achieve the strategy’s objectives, and will be based partly in London and partly in Ipswich.
