Willis names head of Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East-Africa

Broker Willis Towers Watson has appointed Pamela Thomson-Hall as the head of the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (CEEMEA) region.

Thomson-Hall has also been named as the head of corporate risk and broking (CRB) for the CEEMEA region. Based in London, she will be responsible for driving business growth across a large and diverse geographic region of more than 40 countries, with a focus on client engagement and innovation. Her CRB role will involve setting strategic and operational direction for a network of risk advisory and broking businesses.

Thomson-Hall joined the company nearly 20 years ago as general counsel for the international region of Willis, a post she held for almost 15 years. She then led the teams involved in the acquisition and integration of major French broker Gras Savoye, before becoming chief of staff for the international region of Willis Towers Watson. Her most recent role was managing director for international.

“Pamela is a proven leader who brings dynamism, global experience and strategic vision to this diverse and complex region," Adam Garrard, head of international at Willis Towers Watson commented. "We see a lot of potential for growth in the many different markets of CEEMEA, and Pamela’s role is to ensure that clients and prospects, both local and multinational, understand what we are truly capable of.”
