August 30 2021 - 5:00PM
Willis Towers Watson (NASDAQ: WLTW), a leading global advisory,
broking and solutions company, today announced its new Global
Leadership Team to drive the company forward.
“The leaders named today are highly accomplished and embody the
true spirit of one Willis Towers Watson,” said John Haley, Chief
Executive Officer. “This Global Leadership Team consists of voices
across our geographies, segments and functions. We believe this
balanced approach strengthens teamwork, fosters collaboration,
enables us to make better decisions and leads to faster execution
once a decision is made. Willis Towers Watson is well positioned to
compete vigorously and innovate quickly across our businesses
around the world.”
“This Global Leadership Team will work together to guide
strategy, priorities, investments and engagement across Willis
Towers Watson on behalf of all stakeholders, including colleagues,
clients, shareholders and communities,” added Carl Hess, President.
“I’m excited to work with these leaders to build on our already
strong foundation and fulfill our purpose to create clarity and
confidence today for a more sustainable tomorrow.”
The Global Leadership Team is made up of leaders representing
three geographies, two segments and various corporate
functions:
- The three geographies are
Europe, International and North America. Our
geographies connect the entirety of Willis Towers Watson to our
clients and connect our colleagues to the communities where they
live and work.
- The two segments (effective January
1, 2022) are Health, Wealth and Career and
Risk and Broking. Our segments develop and deliver
world-class capabilities and innovation on behalf of clients.
