Marsh has named Ariel Kou as the new senior account manager of Marsh Captive Solutions in Beijing, with immediate effect.
Kou will focus on developing and implementing captive insurance programmes for Marsh’s clients in China and will report to Chris Xu, head of industry specialty and head of the Marsh Beijing office.
Prior to her new role, Kou worked at Aon-COFCO Insurance Brokers as an account manager, providing insurance brokerage services in the greater China market.
Stuart Herbert, head of Marsh Captive Solutions in the Asia Pacific region, said: “As business owners in China become increasingly aware of the benefits of captive insurance programmes, more are forming captives for economic stability and proximity, among other drivers, as well as to adopt a more disciplined and sophisticated approach to risk management.”
“With her extensive knowledge and experience, Ariel Kou will play a central role in developing Marsh’s captive proposition in this important emerging market and leveraging our global expertise and local knowledge to deliver solutions to Marsh’s clients in China.”
