Global advisory, brokerage and solutions company WTW has appointed Oliver Pryce as head of corporate risk and brokerage (CRB) for Southeast Asia at Willis and Rupert Roberts as Asia chief commercial officer (CCO), both effective January 4, 2027.
Price will be based in Singapore and succeeds Roberts, who will assume the newly created role.
Price will lead Willis’ regional operations and work closely with the company’s senior leadership to strengthen capabilities and customer relationships. He also aims to accelerate growth in one of Asia’s “most strategic growth clusters,” according to the broker.
Price returns to Willis after five years with another international broker and has established a strong leadership record in Asia. He has developed extensive relationships with clients, insurers, reinsurers and market stakeholders and will help develop high-performing teams and deliver outstanding client outcomes.
Roberts will be responsible for accelerating and optimizing Willis’ commercial strategy in the region, spanning the entire customer lifecycle from origination to conversion, retention and expansion.
He will lead the end-to-end commercial engine across the region, integrating sales, key accounts, bid management and industry expertise, while working closely with the marketing and sales operations.
Commenting on the appointment, Luke Ware, Head of Asia at WTW, said: “These appointments mark a significant step forward in our goal of building the best risk advisor, specialist broker and client partner in Asia. Rupert’s new role is critical to creating a more connected, higher-performing commercial organization in Asia, enhancing collaboration, improving execution and ensuring we consistently deliver differentiated value to our clients.”
“I am also delighted to welcome Oliver back to Willis. He brings a powerful combination of business acumen, brokerage expertise and leadership, along with deep client relationships, strong market connections and a clear understanding of business dynamics across Southeast Asia. His leadership, energy and market expertise will be invaluable as we continue to support clients and grow our business across the region.”
