Global broker WTW has announced the formation of Strategic Client Engagement Leaders (SCELs), a newly created team focused on driving the growth of large, complex clients within the 12 industry vertical divisions of Corporate Risk & Broking North America (CRB NA).

The expanded structure will support the business’s goal of being a market-leading, industry-focused broker, WTW said.

The SCEL role combines sales, strategic consulting and executive stewardship, WTW said. The SCEL team will report to Louise Pennington, head of strategic client engagement.
