Willis Towers Watson Announces New Leadership
In a move aimed at reassuring stock analysts about the company's future, Willis Towers Watson has announced that Carl Hess will take over as both the President and Chairman of the Board, effective immediately.
John Haley is being succeeded by Hess, who previously led the North America business at Willis Towers Watson. Most recently, Hess served as the Head of Investments, Risk, and Reinsurance at the company.
The announcement comes after a thorough, multi-year succession planning process, which involved the assistance of an external consultant in evaluating potential candidates.
Hess joined Willis Towers Watson in 1989 and has held various leadership roles across different business areas and regions throughout his career at the company. The board of Willis Towers Watson is confident that Hess is the right person to drive the company forward.
Some stock analysts had expressed concerns about the company's future leadership following the failed merger talks between Willis Towers Watson and Aon. The email sent to activate a subscription is likely a response to these concerns.
It is worth noting that the email does not provide any new information about Hess's roles or any new plans or strategies for the company. Additionally, it does not discuss the reasons for the fall in the company's stock price over the past three months, nor does it reveal any potential merger talks.
As of 2025, the latest executive leadership updates for Willis Towers Watson can be found in the company’s official press releases or recent filings. However, no announcement or commentary regarding a new President or Chairman has been found in the sources reviewed.
Stock analysts and the board of Willis Towers Watson will be closely watching to see how the leadership change is received and how Hess's tenure impacts the company's performance.
