WTW appoints regional and global leaders to enhance risk and broking strategy

WTW, an advisory, broking, and solutions firm, has announced two key leadership appointments: Hugo Wegbrans as Head of Corporate Risk and Broking (CRB) Europe and Simon Delchar as Global Head of Placement, both reporting to Lucy Clarke, President of Risk and Broking.

Wegbrans, who joined WTW in 2021 as Head of Broking, has played a pivotal role in the development and global expansion of WTW’s Broking Platform, as well as overseeing the company’s market relationships worldwide.

Based in the Netherlands, he will now lead CRB operations across Western Europe. Wegbrans takes over from Anne Pullum, who previously held the position and remains on the global Risk and Broking leadership team.

Pullum will transition to co-lead WTW’s Corporate Development function alongside CFO Andrew Krasner, focusing on advancing the company’s enterprise strategy. She will also continue in her role as head of WTW’s European geography.

Delchar, based in London, succeeds Wegbrans as Global Head of Placement for CRB. Delchar is tasked with overseeing placement strategy and execution across CRB’s global operations.

Having joined WTW last year as Head of Global Portfolio Placements and Head of Broking for Great Britain, Delchar brings extensive experience to his new role. Prior to WTW, he held senior positions at Marsh, including UK and Ireland Head of Placement and Head of Marsh Specialty Asia.

Lucy Clarke, President Risk and Broking, added: “Anne took on the leadership of CRB Europe in late 2021, at a time when the business was facing significant challenges. Under her guidance, CRB Europe not only stabilised but has achieved historical levels of success, delivering double-digit growth, impressive margin expansion and a major Transformation program that included the integration of our French business. Thanks to Anne’s leadership, CRB Europe has strong momentum as we enter 2025. I am confident Hugo will be able to further build on Anne’s success.

“Hugo’s work with WTW’s Broking Platform has made it easier to service clients, giving them better information about their risks and efficient placement strategies, as well as improving our risk and analytics tools, resulting in better client insights, better market outcomes and greater efficiencies. Simon will continue to progress these digitisation and automation efforts, as well as executing on our wider global placement initiatives, transforming our placement process and client service capabilities.”
