Chairman Geoffrey Howe, said Reynolds' experience in senior finance roles in the insurance sector made him an excellent addition to the team.
"James Twining has made a powerful impact on our strategic planning since he joined the company in 2011 and he will be an invaluable member of the board," he added.
Howe praised Mawson, the outgoing FD, for "his contribution to JLT during a period of continued turbulence in the financial markets and the general economic environment".
