Willis Group Holdings, the global insurance broker, has named Eric Joost as Middle Market segment leader. Joost will lead efforts to develop proprietary and unique skills that will benefit Willis clients in this key segment. He will be based in Chicago, Ill., according to the company.
Joost was most recently senior vice president, Business Management at Allianz Global Risks North America where he served as part of the executive management team, Board of Directors
and Political Action Committee. As senior vice president, he led a reorganization which included a shift to the industry segmentation of underwriting services.

Allianz Excellence Program, a cross-functional and multi-cultural group, selected to advise the Allianz AG Holding Board on opportunities and challenges facing Allianz in the global marketplace.

relationship management, and directed the sales and client service teams.
