Michael G. Cherkasky, MMC President and Chief Executive Officer said: “Dan has broad expertise in the insurance industry as well as first-hand knowledge of the Marsh organization.”
“His perspectives as both a broker and an underwriter, coupled with his extensive international experience, make him the ideal candidate to take Marsh forward.”

Glaser said: “In returning to Marsh, I will come full circle to the start of my career in the insurance industry 25 years ago.
“During that time, I have seen the strength and resiliency of the Marsh organization: it is a company with great people, the strongest client base in the world and a bright future.
“There are challenges and we must address them. There are also tremendous opportunities, and with the support of thousands of Marsh employees, I intend to move promptly to seize those opportunities.”
Glaser began his career in the insurance industry as a Marsh broker in 1982. He joined AIG as President of the Global Energy Division in 2000, and was named Managing Director of AIG Europe (U.K.), AIU’s largest division, in 2002.
