Noteman will work directly with private equity clients and their portfolio companies, serving as a strategic advisor and leading placement of insurance programs, according to a Willis statement.
The role is focused on using the scale of private equity portfolios while tailoring insurance coverage to individual portfolio companies. Willis says the approach is intended to help protect and create value from acquisition through exit.
Noteman joins WTW from another large brokerage, where he spent more than seven years leading a team of client executives serving portfolio companies of major private equity clients, including large and complex risk accounts.
WTW says Noteman has guided major private equity clients through significant industry acquisitions and related transitions. He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Detroit.
Reliable and Disciplined
“Jim has managed some of the most complex private equity portfolios in this business, and he did it by being reliable and disciplined,” comments Aartie Manansingh, Head of Alternative Asset Insurance Solutions, Willis. “Portfolio management means analyzing both the details and the broader picture at once and Jim has built his career on successfully doing that.”
Manansingh says M&A insurance is a specialty business requiring depth of expertise and says Noteman strengthens the AAIS team’s capabilities.
WTW provides data-driven and insight-led solutions in people, risk and capital for clients in 140 countries and markets.
