“His appointment signals our commitment to the Kingdom and the broader region. We’re confident that his deep market insights will help us further innovate and deliver even greater value to our clients,” Lykoudi said.

AlSudairy commented on his appointment as the brokerage moves to expand its operations in the Kingdom.

“I’m very pleased to join WTW during this important phase of expansion. Securing our reinsurance broker license in Saudi Arabia, positions us to deliver exceptional support and solutions to our clients throughout the Kingdom,” AlSudairy said.

He also highlighted the opportunity to contribute to the objectives of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the country’s economy and develop key industries.
