Willis Towers Watson has announced the appointment of a 28-year veteran as president and chief executive officer of Willis Programs.
Stacy Brown, who brings a strong background in insurance and environmental consulting to the role, will be based in Denver and report to Tom Coughlin, national partner.
Brown joined Freberg Environmental Insurance, a subsidiary of Willis Towers Watson, in 1998 and has served as president and managing partner for the past seven years. He will continue to hold this position “for the near future,” the company said in a news release.
Brown will take the place of David Hampson, who retired earlier this year, in overseeing Willis Programs. The program administration business provides underwriting, claim management and loss control services across 36 markets and reaches more than 4,000 independent agents and brokers nationwide.
“We are thrilled to have Stacy lead our program business and build on the success we have established in the marketplace,” Coughlin said. “He brings tremendous credibility and deep industry experience in this role.”
Brown expressed his commitment to Willis clients and commented on what he sees as “many opportunities to grow” and develop new programs.
“I look forward to building on the legacy and brand of our insurance solutions, including our portfolio of highly successful Guard programs – MountainGuard, LawyerGuard and DroneGuard – while we continue to evolve other unique offerings including the Smith, Bell & Thompson, and Freberg Environmental programs,” he said.
