LONDON, June 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WTW has appointed Frank Schepers to lead its Insurance Consulting & Technology (ICT) business.

Adam Garrard, Head of Risk & Broking, WTW said: “We are delighted to have appointed Frank to lead our ICT business globally, following a thorough internal and external search for Alice’s successor. Frank has been instrumental in expanding ICT’s services and embedding the important links between the business’ consulting services and technology solutions that have made it such a powerful force in the market.
