Willis Towers Watson (WTW) has appointed Eric McMurray as chairman, health, wealth and career (HWC).
In his role, McMurray will support M&A readiness, strategy execution, client growth and senior leadership development.
The role will be effective 1 July when Anne Pullum succeeds McMurray as the global leader of the health and benefits business.
Pullum will also continue her role as co-head of corporate development and, as such, serve on WTW’s executive leadership team. Previously, Pullum was the head of corporate risk and broking for Europe and head of strategy for WTW.
Julie Gebauer, president of health, wealth and career at WTW, said: “Eric’s thoughtful and strategic leadership transformed our substantial H&B business into an even stronger one over the past few years.
“I’m pleased we will have Eric’s energy focused on HWC’s next phase.
“With Anne we have an experienced leader who understands both the consulting and broking sides of our health and benefits business.
“She is ready to build on the successes so we can bring vital healthcare coverage and benefits – and breakthroughs that matter – to even more people.”
