Ware, who currently serves as Country Leader and Corporate Risk & Broking Leader for the company’s Indonesia operations, takes up this new role with immediate effect and will be based in Singapore. He will assume responsibility for CRB across Asia.
Before taking on his most recent leadership role in Indonesia, Ware was Natural Resources Leader for Asia, based in Thailand.

Weaver, who joined WTW from Miller in 2015, has held leadership roles throughout the Asia Pacific region during his career.
The role of CRB Leader for WTW Asia was previously held by Scott Burnett, who has recently been named as Chief Commercial Officer for WTW’s Risk & Broking operations worldwide.
