Willis Group Holdings (WSH) said it initiated a search for a new finance chief to replace CFO and Group Chief Operating Officer Patrick Regan in early 2010. The company added that Regan will remain at Willis through the year-end reporting and regulatory filing process for 2009, as well as to assist with the search for a successor and ensure a seamless transition, before joining Aviva plc (AV.L) as finance chief.
Willis has retained Spencer Stuart, an executive search consulting firms, to assist with the recruitment process. Regan joined Willis as an executive officer in January 2006 and has been CFO since March 2006 and Group COO since 2008.
