Willis poaches global head of broking and strategy from rival Aon

Willis Towers Watson has hired a new global head of broking and broking strategy within its Risk and Broking business segment from rival Aon.

Hugo Wegbrans (pictured) will join the company in early 2022.

Wegbrans has most recently been leader of global strategies for Aon’s Commercial Risk Solutions business. Prior to that, he served as global chief broking officer. Wegbrans has spent the majority of his 35-year career with Aon.

Adam Garrard, global head of risk and broking at Willis Towers Watson, said: “Hugo knows the global broking landscape better than most. He shares our passion for innovation, underpinned by great people and superior data and analytics. He’s a well-respected people leader who helps teams get to the heart of what clients need both now and in the future. We look forward to welcoming him to WTW in the new year.”
