Global professional services company Towers Watson (NYSE,
NASDAQ: TW) today announced the appointment of Eric Speer as global
leader for the company’s Risk Consulting and Software business. The
appointment will be effective September 1, 2014. Mr. Speer will be
based in Towers Watson’s Stamford office.
Mr. Speer has extensive experience as a strategy and
organization consultant focusing on insurance and financial
services clients. He has held a number of senior positions during
his 25 years with Towers Watson, including leadership of the
Americas region for Risk Consulting and Software. He more recently
moved to the human capital consulting side of the business and has
managed Towers Watson’s east division in the U.S. for the past
eight years.
“Eric brings a wealth of experience to his new role, as well as
an understanding of insurance industry dynamics. I’m delighted to
have him join our segment’s leadership team,” said Tricia Guinn,
Towers Watson’s managing director, Risk and Financial Services. Mr.
Speer added, “I am optimistic about the opportunities for this
business and looking forward to helping our clients tackle their
most pressing business issues while also working with the RCS
leadership team to drive profitable growth.”
Mr. Speer replaces Rory O’Brien, who was appointed head of Risk
Consulting and Software in 2011 shortly after joining Towers Watson
through its acquisition of EMB, where he served as a managing
partner.
“It has been a privilege to lead Towers Watson’s Risk Consulting
and Software business,” said Mr. O’Brien. “I’m really proud of what
we have achieved over the past three years but feel I’ve reached a
point in my career where I’m ready to embark on new challenges. I’m
delighted to be leaving the business in the capable hands of the
leadership team.”
“I’ve sincerely enjoyed working with Rory and wish him the best
as he enters a new phase in his career. My colleagues and I thank
him for his many contributions to the business,” said Ms.
Guinn.
