WTW has announced the appointment of Parveen Kaur (pictured above) as global leader of operations, strategy execution, and data for Neuron, the company’s commercial digital trading platform.

The strategic hire comes as WTW looks to further develop Neuron’s capabilities, focusing on enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of doing business in the commercial lines insurance market through digitisation.

In this newly established role, Kaur will focus on creating an agile organisation that aligns with regulatory standards and industry best practices. Her responsibilities include ensuring the scalability and sustainability of Neuron’s operations, with a strong emphasis on innovation and efficiency.
