WTW introduced new leadership appointments within its health abd benefits (H&B) division across Southeast Asia, a move aimed at strengthening its regional capabilities and supporting ongoing business development.
The changes, effective immediately, are part of WTW’s broader strategy to enhance its employee benefits advisory and broking services in key Asian markets.
Fong Han Wei (pictured left) has been named head of health and benefits for Singapore.
In this capacity, Han Wei will oversee the delivery of employee health and benefits solutions for corporate clients in Singapore.
His previous experience includes leading the global benefits Singapore team at a major international broker, as well as serving as practice leader for the technology industry across Asia-Pacific.
Han Wei’s background covers strategic consulting, governance, data analytics, and benefits advisory, along with experience managing complex accounts and supporting organizations through mergers, acquisitions, and global benefits program rollouts.
Eva Liu (pictured right), who has served as head of strategic development, health abd benefits, Asia-Pacific, will now also lead the H&B business for Southeast Asia, excluding Singapore.
Liu’s expanded remit involves collaborating with country leaders to drive growth and refine WTW’s value proposition for diverse client segments.
Since joining WTW in 2018, Liu has held roles in business development and consulting in Hong Kong and across Asia.
Lim Choo Ho has been appointed head of health and benefits, Malaysia. He will be responsible for business planning and development in Malaysia, including insurance broking, benefits advisory, and flexible benefits.
Choo Ho brings 25 years of industry experience, having previously led business development and benefits broking renewal at WTW Malaysia.
Royston Tan, head of health & benefits, Asia-Pacific at WTW, said the company’s health & benefits leaders are committed to collaborating with clients and teams, leveraging analytics and data-driven insights to refine benefits strategies, manage costs, and select suitable vendors and insurers.
“We are thrilled to welcome Han Wei to WTW and to see both Eva and Choo Ho take on expanded leadership roles,” he said. “Their combined expertise and leadership will be instrumental in driving our health & benefits business forward in Singapore and across Southeast Asia, ensuring we continue to deliver benefits programs that truly matters to employers and their employees.”
In a separate development, Willis, a WTW business, is expanding its corporate risk and broking operations in Japan.
The company has increased its workforce and deepened its expertise in specialty lines to address the evolving risk management needs of Japanese companies.
Ryohei (Roy) Nakazawa, who leads WTW’s operations in Japan, said the expansion is intended to position Willis as a partner for Japanese firms navigating complex risk environments.
“By bringing the best talent and building up our specialty capabilities, we are positioning ourselves to be a trusted risk advisor, specialty broker, and client partner to Japanese companies navigating today’s complex risk landscape locally and those with an international business footprint,” he said.
