Marsh has appointed Michael Kolodner as global renewable energy leader.
Kolodner succeeds Hamish Roberts who has taken on a new role as UK and Ireland specialty growth leader.
Based in Boston, Kolodner will report to Andrew George, global head of energy and power. Kolodner will maintain his current responsibilities, while also leading an integrated team of more than 250 renewable energy specialists around the world.
Kolodner brings more than 20 years of operational, brokerage, advisory, and underwriting experience in clean energy risk and insurance management to his expanded global role.
Commenting on Kolodner’s appointment George says: “As the global energy industry continues to evolve, we are looking for ways to help it accelerate the transition to cleaner energy sources and technologies.
“To do that, it is critical that we maintain our focus on providing innovative risk and insurance solutions to operators, developers, and investors around the world. I am confident that under Mike’s leadership, we will continue to foster the innovation and agility required to support the increased demand for renewable energy sources.”
Kolodner adds: “The risk landscape is becoming increasingly complex for energy companies. From technological advancements and supply chain complexities, to shifting regulatory requirements and extreme weather events, the industry needs an experienced risk advisor that can bring tailored risk and insurance strategies to their unique needs.
“I am excited to be part of Marsh’s global team of energy specialists to help enable and accelerate renewable energy initiatives.”
