William Bruce joins Aon to lead climate risk consulting

Aon has announced the appointment of William Bruce as Global Managing Director of Climate Risk Consulting.

Bruce has over twenty-two years of consulting experience and was most recently Global Head of Enterprise Risk Consulting at Willis Towers Watson, where he led a global team that designed and delivered Transition Climate Risk Consulting.

In his new role, Bruce will build and lead Aon’s global climate risk consulting team, which works to support clients through profiling and quantifying the risks and opportunities arising from the climate transition.

Bruce will 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, Bruce 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, commented on the appointment, stating, “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.”
