Global advisory business WTW has merged its Asia and Australasia businesses to create one Asia Pacific region, led by Simon Weaver.

Effective from 1 January, former head of Australasia, Simon Weaver, had taken on the role of head of Asia Pacific. He would be based in Australia and be responsible for driving business growth through the newly-integrated regions.

He had over 30 years experience in risk management and insurance broking in UK, Asia and Australasia and had joined WTW in 2015.

He would continue his existing role as head of corporate risk and broking in Asia Pacific and report to WTW head of international, Pamela Thomson-Hall.

Current head of Asia, Clare Muhiudeen, would retire in February 2023.

Thomson-Hall said: “As clients navigate an increasingly complex and fast-shifting global economy, it is important that WTW maintains its agility and continues to adapt to these changing needs. The creation of a single Asia Pacific region will help to unlock potential synergies across markets and increase operational efficiency”.

Weaver said: “I am excited to be given the opportunity to lead our colleagues across Asia and Australasia under the new Asia Pacific region. This combination will be key to maximising WTW’s ability to connect and collaborate without losing the uniqueness of our business segments. I look forward to contributing to a new phase of growth as we continue to deliver data-driven, insight-led solutions that help companies address today’s complex challenges”.
