David Rix will rejoin Marsh on 7 October as head of its Portland office. He will report to Mike Kelly, Marsh’s pacific north partnership leader.
Rix rejoins Marsh from Willis where he spent the last eight years serving as its Portland office head.
Prior to joining Willis, Rix spent 18 years in a variety of risk advisory and client service roles for Marsh in St. Louis, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Chicago, and Portland.
Rix succeeds Richard Stevens who has led the Portland office for the last six years. Stevens will stay with Marsh to assist in the transition of responsibilities and to serve his extensive clientele.
“Rix is a proven leader with a passion for delivering distinctive value to clients, making him a terrific fit to lead our Portland office and our growth efforts in the state,” said Kelly.
“We see Oregon’s strong economy, with its diverse mix of traditional, high tech, and emerging industries as a big draw for Marsh and look forward to helping these companies, under Rix’s leadership, effectively manage their risks for growth.”
