WTW snares Marsh McLennan leader for top global claims role

Global broker  WTW has boosted its leadership team with a new global chief claims officer from Marsh McLennan.

Rob Powell (pictured) will join WTW in early 2024 and report directly to Adam Garrard, global head of risk & broking.

Powell has extensive experience in global claims and was formerly the global chief claims officer at Marsh McLennan from 2014 where he oversaw Marsh’s claims operations, advocacy, and forensic advisory services.

In his new role, Powell will focus on WTW’s end-to-end claims proposition, including aligning claims teams working with WTW’s strong specialist industry practices as well as delivering enhanced claims services through data and analytics.

Garrard said: “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 specialization, 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.”
