Guy Carpenter has formed a global strategic advisory organisation, appointing Rob Bentley as its president and Vicky Carter as vice chairman.

Aimed at providing clients with enhanced solutions, the global strategic advisory is comprised of Guy Carpenter’s advisory, analytics, structured risk, M&A advisory, Lloyd’s capital, and business intelligence capabilities.

Bentley has 30 years of re/insurance broking experience, and re-joins Guy Carpenter from Marsh, where he most recently ran the US and Canada division.

He will report to Peter Hearn, president and CEO, and will be based in New York.

“Guy Carpenter’s Strategic Advisory organization will add value to clients by delivering a globally consistent methodology for our advisory tools and capabilities,” said Hearn.

“I am pleased to welcome Rob back to Guy Carpenter in this important leadership role.”

Carter has more than 35 years of experience in reinsurance, having most recently served as vice chair of Guy Carpenter’s international operations.

She will report to Hearn, and will continue to be based in London.

“The new Guy Carpenter Global Strategic Advisory organisation reflects our commitment to delivering a high-quality and consistently compelling global client experience,” added Hearn.

“Vicky is a seasoned executive who will work closely with our major clients and prospects around the world to help them grow profitably by identifying strategic opportunities.”
