Marsh has appointed Pat Donnelly as president of Marsh US and Canada, effective 1 January 2022.
Donnelly currently serves as head of Marsh Speciality for Marsh US and Canada.
In his new role, Donnelly will report to Martin South, whom he also succeeds as South will assume the roles of president and CEO of Marsh and vice chair of Marsh McLennan.
Donnelly will be responsible for overseeing Marsh’s insurance brokerage and risk advisory businesses across the jurisdictions. He will also join the executive committee.

“Pat’s experience and leadership will help Marsh US and Canada continue to achieve its business goals, meet clients’ challenges in the years ahead, and offer enhanced opportunities for our colleagues.”
Donnelly adds: “Organisations across the US and Canada are faced with unprecedented challenges to their business operations and their resilience plans have been tested to the limit. I look forward to working with the colleagues across the region to develop the solutions that will enable firms to face the future with greater confidence and contributing to their success.”
