(Bloomberg) -- Willis Group Holdings Plc’s Rafal Walkiewicz and Michael Guo, who were promoted last week to lead the investment-banking operation, are focusing on Asia as they vie with Wall Street in advising insurance takeovers.
The co-chief executive officers are leading a staff of about 35 dealmakers who pair investors to insurance assets, they said in an interview. Walkiewicz joined the capital markets and advisory business at London-based Willis last year from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and works in New York.
Willis, the third-largest insurance broker, hired Guo in 2013 from Boston Consulting Group to build operations in Asia. The company predicts opportunities for insurers from mature markets that are seeking to expand in the continent.
