Jill Husbands, chairman and managing director of Marsh IAS management services, has received the first Fred Reiss Lifetime Achievement Award.
Husbands has held various positions at Marsh and is chair of the board of governors of the Bermuda College.
The award, which will be presented at this month’s Bermuda Captive Conference, is named in honour of Fred Reiss, a pioneering Ohio engineer who conceived the idea of self-insurance, by which corporations could manage their own risks through a dedicated subsidiary.
Bermuda Captive Conference chair David Gibbons commented: "Jill Husbands is an incredibly deserving recipient of this first-time award to mark Fred Reiss’s legacy.”
"Her contribution to this conference, our industry, and Bermuda as a whole has been invaluable and, like Reiss himself, she is a remarkable professional who has set an example for all of us in this industry."
