Global insurance broker Marsh, a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan, has appointed Andrew George as president of Marsh Specialty, effective immediately.
The company has also confirmed that John Donnelly, president of global placement, will join George on the Marsh Executive Committee.
Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management, provides services across various industries, helping businesses navigate complex risks. The company offers advisory, analytics, and claims management solutions to clients worldwide.
Based in London, George will now oversee Marsh Specialty’s global operations. He will report directly to Marsh president and CEO Martin South. His role encompasses multiple business lines, including aviation, climate and sustainability, construction, credit specialties, energy and power, financial and professional lines (FINPRO) – covering cyber, marine and cargo – and private equity, mergers and acquisitions (PEMA).
With over 35 years at Marsh, George brings extensive industry experience to his new role. He joined the company in 1988 and has since held several leadership positions, including head of Marsh’s Energy Practice for the Middle East and North Africa in Dubai and CEO of Marsh’s Energy Practice for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In 2012, he was appointed global chairman of Marsh’s Energy Practice, which later expanded into the Energy & Power Practice.
Meanwhile, Donnelly, currently president of global placement, will relocate from London to New York in the coming months. He will also join the Marsh Executive Committee and report to South. These leadership changes highlight Marsh’s commitment to strengthening its executive team and driving strategic growth across its global operations.
Commenting on George’s appointment, South said: “Andrew’s appointment is a testament to the incredible specialty talent and expertise that exists within our global organisation. Through Andrew’s engaging leadership and exceptional experience, our colleagues across Marsh and Marsh McLennan will drive outstanding outcomes for our clients by delivering the data-led insights they need to navigate today’s rapidly evolving global risk environment.”
George added: “In a world of increasingly complex and interconnected risks, the resilience of organisations worldwide is constantly being challenged as they address new and emerging threats to their future success. Marsh’s Specialty teams play a crucial role in helping our clients to thrive through these uncertain times. I am privileged to lead our talented global team and collaborate with them as we deliver on our commitments to clients.”
