In a move that reflects global insurance broker
Douglas previously served as CEO Global Analytics for Willis Re. In his expanded role, Douglas will report to group president Grahame Millwater, and will oversee all analytics-related activities and expenditures across Willis Group, including the Willis Research Network, which Willis says has grown to become the world’s largest collaboration between public science and the finance sector.
“There are significant opportunities to capitalize on the investments and capabilities made in Willis Re Analytics and the Willis Research Network over recent years to respond to the ever-growing analytics requirements across the reinsurance and retail divisions of Willis Group,” Millwater said. “This move enables us to harness our sophisticated modeling and research capabilities to fulfill commitments under the Willis Cause by improving our understanding of our clients’ business and developing the best solutions for them.”
In a separate development, Douglas was also appointed to the UK Prime Minister’s Council for Science and Technology (CST). The CST is the UK Government’s top-level advisory body on science and technology policy issues that reports directly to the Prime Minister.
