Brokerslink lures Towers Watson exec

Brokers network Brokerslink has appointed Corey Gooch as its first director of business development.

As part of the executive team, he will help drive Brokerslink’s growth by working with its broker members to introduce new clients and identify risk-related opportunities.

Gooch has worked within the insurance market for approaching 20 years and was previously an account director at Towers Watson with responsibility for global clients and partnerships. He began his career at Marsh and has also held positions at Aon.

José Fonseca, chairman of Brokerslink, said: “Corey joins at a pivotal moment for Brokerslink and its members as we look to reap the rewards of becoming a profit-based international broking and risk consulting organisation. We have strong ambitions for our future and in his new role Corey will support these goals by reinforcing our leadership team, boosting growth and generating additional business opportunities.

“Having worked closely with Brokerslink as part of his previous role, Corey already knows our model and has established strong relationships with our members. As a result, we expect his integration to be swift, which will enable him to quickly contribute to our commercial development.”
