Willis Tower Watson managing director of investments Asia-Pacifc, Naomi Denning, said Goss was a clear fit for the position.
"Martin has been a senior member of our Australian Investments team for nine years, and is exceptionally well-placed to lead the team and oversee implementation of our successful business strategy," she said.
"He will sustain the momentum and maintain the culture of a great team."
