Willis Towers Watson has appointed Simon Weaver as leader for corporate risk and broking (CRB) for Asia and Australasia.
The appointment is part of the company’s efforts to expand its CRB business on a global scale. Weaver’s current role as head of CRB for Asia has been expanded to include Australia and New Zealand.
Weaver is a veteran of the Asian market, with over 20 years of insurance and broking experience in the region. In his new and expanded role, he is in charge of accelerating the CRB business’s growth across Asia-Pacific by coordinating the firm’s global capabilities and local expertise. Based in both Asia and Australasia, he will lead teams from the lines of business, sales and client management functions to attract new clients, expand existing client relationships, and capitalise on opportunities to enter new industry sectors.
“Simon’s extensive risk management and insurance broking industry expertise, combined with his deep understanding of Asia-based clients and markets, makes him very well positioned to help us to maximise engagement with our clients and to drive business growth,” said Adam Garrard, the company’s international head of CRB. “Simon’s appointment reinforces Willis Towers Watson’s commitment to delivering excellent client experiences across Asia-Pacific by leveraging the company’s global platform.”
