Marsh appoints CEO of Middle East and Africa from Oman Insurance

Global insurance broking and risk management firm Marsh has appointed Christos Adamantiadis as CEO of a newly-combined Middle East and Africa region, and Ayman El Hout as country leader for the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Adamantiadis will assume responsibility for all of Marsh’s operations across the Middle East and Africa. He was most recently CEO of Dubai-based Oman Insurance Company (OIC). Previously, he spent 20 years at AIG, overseeing its operations in several geographies including the Middle East, North Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and Russia.

Based in Dubai, Adamantiadis will report to Flavio Piccolomini, President of Marsh International.

El Hout will also be based in Dubai and report to Adamantiadis. He joins Marsh with over 34 years of experience in underwriting and reinsurance roles in the region, most recently as deputy chief executive officer of Al Sagr National Insurance.

Commenting on the appointments, Piccolomini said: “By uniting our businesses in the Middle East and across Africa, we will be able to better leverage the talents and expertise of Marsh colleagues for the benefit of clients.

“With a strong track record of serving firms across a range of developing geographies, Christos is the well-placed to deliver the services and solutions clients need to meet the challenges of the fast-changing risk landscape across the region."
