Previously, he served as CEO of Willis Italia and became Country Manager for the group in Italy following the merger of Willis with Towers Watson. Mr. De Spirt was the founder of ICR, a reinsurance broker, and CTA, an insurance broker, which merged to become Nikols Group. Mr. De Spirt eventually served as CEO of AON Nord Est following AON’s acquisition of Nikols Group. He began his career as a Lloyd’s of London broker.
“I’m honored to partner with J.C. Flowers and lead OneItalia, which represents some of the most impressive independent insurance brokers in Italy today,” said Mr. De Spirt. “OneItalia companies benefit from increased investments in technology, innovation and highly experienced professionals, which is critical to better serving customers and staying ahead of trends.
