We are a group of risk experts, technologists, and quants, including over 165 actuaries, who work in partnership with WTW risk advisors. Our offerings include deep expertise on specific client needs, holistic analysis to bring value through a portfolio risk strategy, and remarkable innovation and automation of risk quantification to deliver a financial approach to all clients. We cover all things related to assessment of risk, optimization of risk financing and mitigation planning.

- Work on projects in a way that ensures alignment to client objectives, builds trust around our recommendations, services and solutions, and adheres to WTW professional excellence standards
- The ability to travel on an “as needed” basis
