No one. It's an office building, not a monument. It was built to be the headquarters of Sears, Roebuck, and Co. Sears has not had offices there since 1992 and since Willis Insurance Group is now the major tenant, it has been renamed Willis Tower.
Well, the Willis Tower holds many offices. Many companies have their offices there. For many years Sears Roebuck occupied the largest part of the tower and the building became known by that name. Although Willis has been the largest tenant for several years, the building owners have only recently decided to change the name.
When the tower was built in 1973, the major tenant was Sears (Sears Roebuck & Co.) and the company's naming rights were granted for 30 years. However, the name remained unchanged after the expiration in 2003. When Willis Group Holdings (London) took occupancy in the tower in 2009, the company purchased the naming rights effective July 16, 2009.
