Marsh poaches Aon exec to head UK financial institutions practice

Broker Marsh said on Aug. 31 that it has appointed David Nayler as leader of its UK financial institutions industry practice.

Nayler will report to Charles Beresford-Davies, risk management practice leader, UK & Ireland and is expected to start in the position in early 2018.

Nayler will bring together financial services sector client management, technical, placement and risk management specialists from across the business to support Marsh’s financial institutions clients in mitigating the complex risks they face.

Nayler joins Marsh from Aon where, since 2005, he has worked in a variety of leadership roles within the firm’s financial and professional services group, including heading up the legal and claims practice.

Beresford-Davies said: "In such a fast moving and evolving risk landscape, financial institutions require even greater support, insight and innovation from their risk advisers. We are delighted to welcome David to Marsh, where he will play an integral role in assisting our financial institutions clients mitigate the increasingly challenging risks they now face."
