WTW has announced the appointment of Laura Doddington (pictured above) as North American proposition leader – pricing, product and claims underwriting (PPCU) personal lines for insurance consulting and technology (ICT). She will be based in Toronto.

Doddington’s expertise and experience in consulting and insurance companies and her knowledge of WTW’s products and services will fuel the advancement of PPCU to achieve WTW’s goals for revenue growth, innovation and thought leadership, the company said.

Doddington has nearly two decades of industry experience. She joins WTW from Aviva Canada, where she served as senior vice president and managing director, leading the transformation and growth of the company’s Digital Direct business. Doddington began her career at EMB (now part of WTW) in the UK. She has also held roles at Desjardins General Insurance Group and RSA UK and Canada.

In her new role, Doddington will advise WTW’s insurance clients on improving their underwriting, pricing, product development, carrier operations, distribution and sales capabilities. She will also develop and bring Radar, WTW’s pricing software, underwriting solutions, portfolio management platforms and digital trading solutions, to North American insurers, the company said.

“We are excited to welcome Laura to WTW,” said Nic Beaudoin, Americas P&C division leader, ICT, at WTW. “Her extensive knowledge of the insurance industry and proven track record of driving growth and innovation make her the perfect fit to lead our PPCU personal lines business in North America. We are convinced that she will bring significant value to our clients and our team.”

“I am delighted to be joining WTW,” Doddington said. “I have seen firsthand the value that WTW brings to insurance carriers. I am looking forward to working with this great team, building on the foundations already in place, and working with clients to help them excel.”

WTW also recently announced the appointment of Jackie Bolig as head of property and casualty for its corporate risk and broking (CRB) division in North America. The company also recently appointed Tom Rhatigan as Northeast senior director and commercial surety leader for North American CRB and Dan Peck as director and New England contract surety leader.
