Jason Howard to head up Faber

Former chief executive of Willis Re International and Speciality, Jason Howard, is to head up the newly launched facultative and wholesale broker, Faber Global Limited (Faber).

Faber is an amalgamation of Willis Facultative and Glencairn Limited, the wholesale broking business acquired by Willis in 2008.

Gianmarco Tosti has been appointed managing director and will have responsibility for the London business unit. Tosti was previously chief executive of Willis Facultative London.

“Both the facultative and wholesale elements of Faber are well developed businesses in their own right and our existing clients in both areas are very important to us,” he says.

“Faber will deliver even greater value through the broader range of expertise and resources available to both existing and new clients as we extend our offering to new partners across the world.”
