WTW, a global advisory, broking and solutions company, has appointed Oliver Pryce as Head of Corporate Risk & Broking (CRB) Southeast Asia, and Rupert Roberts as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), Asia, at Willis, both effective January 4th, 2027.
Based in Singapore, Pryce will take over the position from Roberts, who transitions into the newly created role.
Pryce will lead Willis’ regional business, and work closely with the firm’s senior leadership to strengthen capabilities and client relationships. He also aims to accelerate growth in one of Asia’s “most strategically important growth clusters,” according to the broker.
Pryce returns to Willis after five years with another international broker, where he has built a strong leadership track record across Asia. He has extensive relationships with clients, insurers, reinsurers, and market stakeholders, and will help develop high-performing teams and delivering outstanding client outcomes.
Roberts will be responsible for accelerating and optimising Willis’ commercial strategy across the region, spanning the full client lifecycle from origination through to conversion, retention, and expansion.
He will lead the end-to-end commercial engine across the region, integrating sales, large accounts, bid management and industry specialties, while working closely with marketing and sales operations.
Luke Ware, Head of Asia, WTW, commented on the appointment, “These appointments mark an important step forward in our ambition to build Asia’s best risk advisor, specialty broker and client partner. Rupert’s new role will be central to creating a more connected and high-performing commercial organisation across Asia, strengthening collaboration, sharpening execution and ensuring we consistently deliver differentiated value to clients.
“I am also delighted to welcome Oliver back to Willis. He brings a strong combination of commercial acumen, broking expertise and leadership capability, together with deep client relationships, strong market connectivity and a clear understanding of the dynamics shaping businesses across Southeast Asia. His leadership, energy and market expertise will be invaluable as we continue to support clients and grow our business across the region.”
