Towers Watson announces network for insurer chief risk officers

Chief risk officers (CROs) of property and casualty and life insurance companies in North America now have a knowledge-sharing network for peer networking, expert access and discussion of topical issues in enterprise risk management.

Professional services company Towers Watson launched the “CRO Network” on May 23 to provide an ongoing series of event, conferences, webcasts and networking opportunities for CROs and other senior executive responsible for risk management activities.

“Our launch of the CRO Network is in direct response to strong insurance industry interest in peer networking and best practice educational opportunities relating to risk management,” said Mark Scanlon, a senior consultant at Towers Watson. “While certain insurers already have forums available to them, the CRO Network is very inclusive, and provides networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities for virtually all insurers operating in North America.”
