Global broker  WTW has swooped for a 20-year  Aon veteran in North America as part of its “new industry vertical strategy” towards specialisation across corporate risk and broking.

Dominic Gallina (Pictured) joins WTW as head of property broking – real estate, hospitality and leisure within North American Corporate Risk & Broking (CRB) business.

With more than twenty years of relevant experience, Gallina brings extensive real estate and hospitality acumen to WTW, aligned with the ability to design and implement complex insurance programmes for large real estate, hospitality and leisure companies within North America and around the world.
