Key global appointment at Towers Watson
Towers Watson has announced the appointment of a new global head of its investment business.
The company announced this week that Chris Ford would be succeeding Carl Hess in the role, with Hess becoming managing director of the Americas region and joining the company's executive committee.
Confirming Ford's move to head up the investment business, Towers Watson managing director of risk and financial services, Tricia Guinn, said he had proven himself very capable both strategically and operationally.
Ford joined Towers Watson 23 years ago and has held numerous leadership roles during that time, most recently heading the company's investment business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
