Deloitte team moves to Towers Watson
Towers Watson has established an executive compensation business in Australia based on the team which formerly operated with Deloitte Australia.
Towers Watson announced this week that the new business would complement its existing engagement survey and reward businesses in Australia, and is to be headed by former Deloitte executives, Jonathan Finlay and Stephen Burke.
Announcing the development earlier this week, Towers Watson managing director, Andrew Boal said excellent opportunities existed in executive compensation consulting in Australia.
"Jon and his team will hit the ground running," he said.
Referring to former Deloitte clients, Boal said those clients that chose to separately engage Towers Watson would continue to be serviced by the same consultants.
