Global professional services company Towers Watson (NASDAQ:TW) announced
today that Susan Davies has been named controller and principal
accounting officer, effective November 13, 2015. Davies will succeed
Michael Thomson, who will be joining another organization in an expanded
position over his current role. “Susan’s strong leadership in internal
audit and finance at Towers Watson makes her the ideal candidate for
this critically important position,” said Roger Millay, chief financial

and disciplined approach to ensuring strong financial controllership
while also developing the breadth of internal audit’s project portfolio
to more broadly contribute to the operational and business success

Mike and his family.”

company has accomplished a lot during my tenure, and I wish them well.”
