Aon has announced the appointment of William Bruce as Global Managing Director, Climate Risk Consulting in Aon Global Risk Consulting (AGRC).
William joined the firm on 15 August 2022 and is reporting into Richard Waterer, Global Risk Consulting Leader for Aon Commercial Risk Solutions.
With over 22 years’ experience in consulting, William Bruce was most recently Global Head of Enterprise Risk Consulting at WTW, where he led a global team that designed and delivered Transition Climate Risk Consulting.
In his new role, William is responsible for building and leading Aon’s global climate risk consulting team which is supporting clients through profiling and quantifying the risks and opportunities arising from the climate transition. This will incorporate climate risk identification and modelling, as well as risk management strategy in accordance with key frameworks, such as the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
William will also work alongside Aon’s Global Head of Climate Strategy, Richard Dudley, to ensure that Aon’s risk and analytics work supports the firm’s wider climate agenda of bringing capital to the climate transition, building physical resilience and reducing volatility associated with climate liabilities. Additionally, in collaboration with Richard and his team, William will ensure that Aon’s climate risk consulting solutions continue to address international frameworks and guidance.
Richard Waterer, Global Risk Consulting Leader for Aon Commercial Risk Solutions, said: “Supporting our clients’ climate transition journey and mitigating climate-related risks remains a core priority for Aon. I am delighted to welcome William to the team to bolster our offering and to help clients take an analytical-based approach to the identification, modelling and management of climate risk.”
