Marsh selects risk management leader for Asia and Pacific regions

Insurance broker Marsh has confirmed Scott Leney as risk management leader for its Asia and Pacific regions.

The firm said Leney will oversee its regional Risk Management teams as they grow and develop strategic solutions to support Marsh’s largest clients in an increasingly complex global risk landscape. The new appointee is currently CEO of Marsh Australia. He will take up his new role on September 1, 2020 and continue to be based in Sydney. Leney will report to David Jacob, CEO of Marsh Asia, and Nick Harris, CEO of Marsh Pacific.

In addition to his new role, Leney will serve as country corporate officer for Marsh & McLennan in Australia, working closely with executives across Marsh, Guy Carpenter, Mercer, and Oliver Wyman on key client and corporate initiatives.

Flavio Piccolomini, president of Marsh International, said: “With more than 30 years of industry expertise leading teams and driving successful outcomes for clients across Asia and the Pacific, Scott is the ideal person to fill this role. As a strong client advocate with a track record for delivering innovative solutions for complex problems, he is well-placed to ensure we bring the full capabilities of the firm to our clients across the region.”

Leney said: “Clients across the region face a rapidly changing risk landscape as well as an increasingly challenging insurance market. I am excited by the opportunity to focus on our large and complex clients across a broader geography and work with our Asia and Pacific Risk Management leaders to help them respond effectively to these challenges.”
