SINGAPORE:
WTW today announced the appointment of William Miller as the Head of Crisis Management, Asia Pacific, effective 1 January 2023.
The team in Asia Pacific (APAC) will be part of a new WTW’s Global Line of Business that will be set-up on 1 January with the merger of its Special Contingency Risk (SCR) team and its Terrorism & Political Violence team as a global Crisis Management unit earlier this year.
Based in Singapore, William will oversee the new crisis management business in APAC and deliver its services and solutions covering the following areas: Special Crime (Kidnap & Ransom, Extortion, Hijack, Maritime Piracy, Political Evacuation), Terrorism, Political Violence, Accident & Health (incl. Personal Accident, Business Travel, Contingency, Sports & Entertainment) and Active Assailant to a wide number of multinational clients.
The Crisis Management team, which sits as part of WTW’s Corporate Risk & Broking business, goes beyond protecting corporate employees from traditional kidnap, ransom, and terrorism events to cover a broader range of risks that impact the security and well-being of employees and organisations. Through 360-degree support, organisations will be able to safeguard their staff, reputation, and shareholder value.
Luke Ware, Head of Corporate Risk & Broking Asia, WTW said: “As geopolitical tensions rise, individuals and businesses are exposed to a wider range of security risks which is why we have expanded our offering to include domains such as Special Crime and high-risk accident and health.”
Commenting on his appointment, William Miller said: “ As we see an increase in the number of countries introducing duty of care regulations, ensuring the health and safety of employees is a business imperative, no matter what sector they’re operating in.”
