NEW YORK, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Willis, a WTW business (NASDAQ: WTW), has announced the appointment of Cecelia Lockner as Senior Director, Strategic Client Advisor within the North America Alternative Asset Insurance Solutions (AAIS) vertical. Lockner’s appointment underscores Willis’ commitment to delivering forward-thinking insurance solutions grounded in deep industry expertise with a sharp focus on client outcomes.
