WTW announced that Michael Chang will be joining WTW as Head of Corporate Risk and Broking (CRB) North America, later in 2022. Mike Liss, current Head of CRB North America, has announced his intention to retire in mid-2023. For six years, Michael served as co-leader of Sompo International's Global Insurance and CEO of its Global Risk Solutions businesses.

Before this, he spent nearly 20 years at Chubb, where he held various senior roles, primarily in the large account space, including the leadership of Chubb's Commercial Insurance Global Risk Management Group and Global Real Estate Unit. He was a pioneer of industry specialization, spanning all lines of business, and an early adopter of the data and analytics-based approach that have embraced at WTW. He began his career as a financial analyst and holds a degree in Multinational Business Management from Wharton.

Michael is also a long-time advocate of developing meaningful and impactful Inclusion and Diversity programs and his work in this area is recognized throughout the insurance sector. As Chang takes up his new role later this year Liss will remain with WTW through to his official retirement in 2023, to ensure a smooth handover. On joining WTW, Chang will become a member of the company's Global Leadership Team (GLT).
