Niek Post has joined from Aon Netherlands

Willis Europe BV has appointed Niek Post as chief executive of its Dutch operations.

Based in Amsterdam, Post will report to Adam Garrard, chief executive of Willis Continental Europe.

Post, who has more than 25 years of experience in the Dutch insurance market, joins Willis from Aon Netherlands where he was most recently responsible for strategic global client relationships, with a particular focus on financial institutions.

Garrard said: “Niek has a great standing in the Dutch market due to the high level of service he provides to his clients and his sales-orientated approach. With his strong banking and insurance background, Niek is ideally positioned to lead our team in the Netherlands, and to leverage the Group’s global resources to develop local insurance solutions for our clients there.”

Post said: “I am excited about the opportunity to lead one of the Netherland’s top brokers. There are great growth opportunities for Willis in this market particularly in the areas of Employee Benefits, Executive Risks and Marine. I look forward to driving our business strength in these areas, but also to developing new business in other sectors.”
