Willis North America's Japan Global Practice Group serves Japanese-headquartered companies' North American operations. The pair will be responsible for business development and aligning resources from across Willis' global platform to develop solutions for clients. They will report to Eric Joost, chief executive, Willis North American Specialties.

“The Japan Group represents a very important component of our business here in North America and globally,” Joost said. “We are thrilled to have Brian and Hiro's leadership in this space as they have each played a critical role in helping to drive strong growth in this business. We are excited to build on our success and deliver high levels of client satisfaction and business results."
