The company announced this week it had appointed Sue Brake as a senior investment consultant, based in Sydney.
Confirming the appointment, director of investments for Willis Towers Watson in Australia, Martin Goss, said Brake had specialist experience in organisational design and governance, strategy and portfolio construction.
"Sue has over 20 years of extensive investment experience and we are looking forward to the value she will be able to provide to our clients, especially her insights on organisational design and governance, which remain high on the agenda for institutional investors," he said.
