Willis Towers Watson names construction broking leader

Willis Towers Watson PLC said Monday it has named Jim Dunlap as head of construction broking in North America.

Mr. Dunlap, who is based in Chicago and will report to Joseph Peiser, head of broking for North America, most recently served as head of casualty construction broking for North America, the brokerage said in a statement.

Kelly Kinzer, Willis Towers Watson’s previous head of construction broking, joined Zurich North America in April as head of construction property and operations, a spokeswoman for Willis Towers Watson confirmed.

Mr. Dunlap will oversee Willis Towers Watson’s portfolio of construction clients including contractors, project owners, developers, architects and engineers in North America, the statement said.
