Van den Eynde to lead its major global clients’ team

Marsh has appointed Gilbert Van den Eynde as the global leader of G5, its division that serves Marsh’s global clients with complex risk management needs. He will report to Tim Mahoney, president, Global Risk Management (GRM).

Commenting on the appointment, Mr Mahoney said: “With more than 20 years’ senior experience in international business and client service, Gilbert is the ideal choice to lead this team. He has held various positions within Marsh, most recently as G5 Leader in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and client director for several of our most important clients across that region. In this new role, he will work closely with the geographies to further develop and execute our G5 strategy.”

Mr Van den Eynde said: “Our largest clients are demanding more options and a higher level of sophistication in advice and transactions. By bringing together the full extent of our knowledge and capabilities regardless of where the client need is we will be able to provide industry-leading insights on the increasingly complex global risk management and insurance landscape.

“Through G5, we will bring our global expertise to a broad range of complex risks, with global risk solutions and innovations, global insurance-market access, global service excellence delivered consistently and global resources that transcend geographic boundaries. It is in delivering this high standard that Marsh excels and I look forward to working with the G5 team to meet and exceed our clients’ expectations.”
