WTW has appointed Diya Luke as the global head of investments.
Luke will be in charge of implementing the company’s global expansion strategy for the Investments division. She succeeds Chris Ford, who will retire at the end of June and will be under the direction of Julie Gebauer, head of health, wealth & career.
In 2004 Luke started working with WTW as an investment consultant. She has since held a number of leadership positions, most recently serving as the company’s growth acceleration leader for the health, wealth & career division. Her previous positions include Northeast region leader, New York investments leader, and southeast investments leader.
Gebauer says: “We’re excited to appoint Diya to this important leadership position. She’s an experienced leader with a track record for making smart connections and a deep understanding of our clients’ needs. We look forward to her many contributions as we continue to bring our best innovative ideas forward and invest for a more sustainable tomorrow.”
Gebauer adds: “Chris’s leadership has been instrumental in building a truly global Investments business, which today has more than $150 billion in assets under management and has historically outperformed industry benchmarks.
“As a result, our clients’ portfolios have achieved attractive investment results while managing risk. We take this opportunity to thank Chris for all that he has done and to wish him the very best in his retirement as we look forward to continued growth in the Investments business under Diya’s leadership.”
