In addition to Steel, the company has appointed Ted Hodgkinson and Noel Goh in Hong Kong.
Hodgkinson is Willis Towers Watson’s new head of corporate risk & broking for Hong Kong and Macau. He brings to the role more than 20 years of experience working in the region, of which 15 years were in senior leadership roles in Hong Kong and regionally.
Goh has joined as head of talent & rewards for Hong Kong. He has worked as a strategic adviser to senior leaders in the private and government sectors across Asia Pacific and previously held a regional leadership role with Aon Hewitt.
