Insurance broker Willis, a WTW business, has announced the appointment of Chris Mulligan as Global Head of Risk Engineering, effective from 1 January 2027.
With over 17 tears at Willis across client-facing and leadership positions within risk engineering, Mulligan has been instrumental in advancing technical capabilities and fostering cross-regional collaboration.
In his new position, he has been tasked with uniting 200 risk engineers across 30 countries, integrating their expertise with Willis’ data, analytics and specialist risk capabilities to give clients a clearer, more connected view of risk.
The appointment comes as rapid growth in AI infrastructure, climate pressures, the energy transition and increasingly interconnected supply chains create risks that can cascade across locations and global portfolios.
Based in London, Mulligan will be reporting to Marc Hindman, North America Leader, Risk and Analytics at Willis, who commented: “Chris combines deep technical expertise with a clear understanding of the risks shaping clients’ businesses.
“His leadership will bring our global capabilities closer together, helping clients see how exposures connect and act on that insight with confidence.”
Mulligan said: “Clients need more than a site-by-site view of risk. By connecting our engineering expertise with Willis’ leading data and analytics, we can clearly show how exposures interact across operations and portfolios, and help clients target investment, strengthen resilience and make better risk and insurance decisions.”
