WTW has appointed Edwina Leclere as associate director of captives and insurance management solutions for France.
Leclere will lead the firm’s captive growth strategy in the French market and build a dedicated management team based in Paris.
The new team, housed within WTW’s Risk and Analytics division, is created in response to increased client demand and the growing uptake of captives in the French market.
It will focus on consulting and managing captives domiciled in France, offering tailored support that aligns with the evolving risk profiles of parent companies.
WTW’s France-based team integrates actuarial, compliance, placement and risk financing expertise, supported by advanced analytical and modelling tools.
Leclere’s role will include developing the management platform and strengthening WTW’s position in France’s alternative risk financing sector. She brings over two decades of experience in insurance and reinsurance, including 12 years in international roles.
Her previous positions span PwC Luxembourg, ONEY Group and BPCE, where she managed insurance operations, transformation initiatives, and captive deployments across Europe.
Nick Dussuyer, managing director of WTW France and head of Corporate Risk and Broking for France, highlights: “Edwina Leclere’s arrival illustrates our commitment to addressing the current challenges of French clients and the growing market interest in these solutions.
“Her experience and past achievements are assets to confirm and continue our development as one of the leaders in this field.”
He adds: “The captive team allows us to be as close as possible to our clients and offer them comprehensive support with all of WTW's strengths and expertise in France and Europe.
“By combining our management know-how and our analytical power, we help companies structure effective financing solutions, making captive financing a truly strategic tool.”
