In a move that expands its reinsurance brokerage business in the Southeast, global professional services company Towers Watson has established a brokerage operation in the Burlington-Greensboro, North Carolina area.
Heading up the new brokerage operation in the region are executive vice presidents David Johnson and Horace M. (J.J.) Johnson, who are brothers. Both have joined Towers Watson from Axiom Re, the reinsurance subsidiary of Brown & Brown. David Johnson and J.J. Johnson co-founded Axiom Re with their father Jay Johnson in 2000.
Prior to joining Towers Watson, David Johnson and J.J. Johnson were Axiom copresidents and co-chief operating officers. David Johnson began his career at Aon, working in treaty reinsurance and capital market solutions, before helping establish Axiom Re. J.J. Johnson started with Chartwell Reinsurance before the founding of Axiom Re.
James Hole, managing director and head of property/casualty sales and practice development for Towers Watson said the move will enable Towers Watson to strengthen its position in the Southeast region, while complementing its position in the Florida market.
