 Paasch will report to John Merkovsky, Willis’s Global Head of Risk & Analytics who added: “The addition of Marc to our Risk & Analytics team will enable Willis to leverage the risk insights gained through our cutting-edge analytics to deliver alternative techniques to hedge and transfer risk.”

Before that, he held senior management positions in the financial services sector in Paris and New York, including at Allianz and Société Générale.
