Broker WTW has merged its Asia and Australasia operations into one regional division called Asia Pacific, headed by Simon Weaver. 

Mr Weaver, formerly Head of Australasia, started his new role as Head of Asia Pacific this month based in Sydney. 

He is responsible for driving business growth and enabling closer collaboration across the businesses to deliver “superior advice, broking and solutions in the areas of people, risk and capital to organisations in the region,” WTW says. 

Mr Weaver reports to Head of International Pamela Thomson-Hall. He retains his other position as Head of Corporate Risk and Broking in Asia Pacific. 

“As clients navigate an increasingly complex and fast-shifting global economy, it is important that WTW maintains its agility and continues to adapt to these changing needs,” Ms Thomson-Hall said. 

“The creation of a single Asia Pacific region will help to unlock potential synergies across markets and increase operational efficiency.” 

Mr Weaver joined WTW in 2015 as Head of Singapore and south-east Asia and subsequently led the Corporate Risk and Broking business in Asia and Australasia respectively. In 2018 he became Head of Australasia and Head of Corporate Risk and Broking Australasia.
