After overseeing the merger of RISCS with Cutts-Watson Consulting (RISCS CWC) and serving as Chair for two years, Malcolm Cutts-Watson is stepping down at the end of December to retire following an illustrious five-decade career.
Malcolm Cutts-Watson, a seasoned captive practitioner, director, and consultant, has amassed extensive experience working across various domiciles and advising companies and regulatory bodies worldwide.
He founded Cutts-Watson Consulting Limited to provide expert guidance on all aspects of captive strategy, implementation, operations, and business development.
Recognised for his contributions to the industry, Cutts-Watson was named to the Captive Review Power 50 in both 2013 and 2014.
In 2015, he received the Outstanding Contribution by an Individual award at the UK Captive Services Awards Ceremony. In January 2017, he was inducted into the Captive Hall of Fame as one of its 13 inaugural members.
Oliver Schofield, CEO & Managing Partner of RISCS CWC commented, “It has been a great pleasure knowing Malcolm all these years and an honour for RISCS to be chosen by him as a merger partner for CWC.
“Malcolm will be sorely missed by all of us – and the wider captive world – but we look forward to extending his legacy by continuing our independent, innovative work. We wish him and Madeleine all the very best for a long and happy retirement.”
Cutts-Watson himself added, “After 5 decades in the business it is time for me to step back. When I approached Oliver back in 2022 with a view to merging our respective companies I had in mind a two-year timeframe for my involvement and we have been working to this schedule.
“I am delighted as to how well the merger has gone and to see RISCS CWC go from strength to strength. Winning the Captive Consultant of the Year award at last month’s European Captive Awards validates the RISCS CWC truly independent, global captive and ART consultancy model.
“I wish Oliver and the team all the very best for the future and will remain captivated by their news! I will continue to act as an INED and facilitate the development of talent in the industry.”
