Old Mutual Global Investors (OMGI) has recruited Craig Stevenson from Towers Watson as global head of investment consultant relationships.
OMGI said the appointment reflects a strategy to broaden and diversify its client base within the institutional sector for both alternative and traditional investment solutions.
At Towers Watson, Stevenson was most recently a senior investment consultant and led equity hedge fund research. Prior to that, his experience included bfinance, Standard & Poor's and Stamford Associates.
OMGI is an arm of Old Mutual Group with assets under management of £22.5bn ($35bn).
It was announced on 30 June that Towers Watson and re/insurance broker Willis Group Holdings have signed a definitive agreement on a merger which is expected to close by the end of the year.
