Global advisory, broking, and solutions company WTW has announced the appointment of Rob Powell as its new Global Chief Claims Officer.
Powell is set to assume his role at WTW in early 2024, and he will report directly to Adam Garrard, the Global Head of Risk & Broking at the company.
Powell brings with him a wealth of experience in the global claims arena, having previously served as the Global Chief Claims Officer at Marsh McLennan since 2014.
During his tenure at Marsh McLennan, Powell was responsible for overseeing the company’s claims operations, advocacy, and forensic advisory services.
In his new role, Powell will concentrate on advancing WTW’s end-to-end claims proposition. This includes aligning claims teams with WTW’s well-established specialist industry practices and introducing improved claims services through the use of data and analytics.
Adam Garrard, the Global Head of Risk & Broking at WTW, expressed his thoughts on Powell’s appointment, stating, “Claims are not only a key component of our service offering to clients but also play an integral part in our Smarter Ways to Risk proposition, delivering specialisation, exceptional client service, data, and analytics – directly aligned with core WTW market strengths and growth priorities. Today’s announcement demonstrates our commitment to invest in strong talent in Risk & Broking for the long-term future of our business, and with a distinguished track record in leading the delivery of global claims services, Rob will be a valuable addition to our leadership team.”
