WTW names head of corporate for Australia

Willis, a WTW business, has appointed a head of corporate for Australia to lead its property and casualty business across Australia.

Will Sare has stepped into the role, transitioning from his former position as head of sales for the Pacific where he oversaw the functions of corporate risk and broking across the region for more than a year.

He brings a wide range of experience across the financial services industry, especially within insurance, across Australia and the US.

Prior to WTW, he spent more than a decade in Chicago, Illinois, heading compliance, risk and governance initiatives at various institutions, including as managing director at Marsh and Aon, chief risk and governance officer at Cushman & Wakefield and global head of compliance and risk at DTZ.

Earlier in his career, he served as head of risk, insurance and commercial at UGL and risk services manager at Deloitte Australia.

WTW head of Pacific James Baum noted Sare has been a key member of the team since he joined the company in July 2025.

"Will brings extensive industry experience, strong leadership capability and a deep understanding of our business. Since joining the company a year ago, he has played a key role in strengthening Willis' commercial performance and enhancing the capabilities of our sales team," Baum said.

"His detail-oriented approach is matched by his understanding of how our specialist expertise, analytical capabilities, proactive claims management and client service model work together.

"This will help clients realise greater value, especially those managing sophisticated and highly complex risk and insurance programmes. We look forward to supporting Will as he leads our corporate business and builds on this momentum."

Following Sare's appointment, head of growth for Pacific Stephen Trickey will take on an expanded role supporting sales activity across the region, while continuing to serve in his current role.
