Marsh Risk appoints new global supply chain practice leader

Marsh Risk has appointed James Crask as its new global supply chain practice leader.

In this new role, Crask is responsible for delivering the insights, advice and propositions clients need to build resilience in their global supply chains.

He will do this by combining Marsh Risk’s existing supply chain insurance and risk consulting expertise, as well as leveraging advanced analytics.

“Organisations today face an unprecedented supply chain environment,” Crask said.

”Geoeconomic confrontation, evolving tariff policies and regulatory changes make it more difficult than ever to manage and mitigate risks effectively. The Marsh team has the capability to provide clients with the insights and solutions they need to grow in these challenging times.”

Experience

Based in London, Crask has more than 20 years of experience in providing risk management, resilience and strategic advisory services across public and private sectors.

He joined Marsh Risk in 2018 and has served in various business resilience leadership roles before being named global head of multinational clients, risk consulting, in 2024.

Martin South, chief executive at Marsh Risk, said: “His appointment comes at a critical time when organisations face increasingly complex and evolving risks across their supply chains.

”He is a proven, strategic leader with a keen ability to help organisations anticipate, withstand and recover from disruptions and is the ideal person to lead this important role and help our clients build the resilience they need to thrive in an ever-changing, interconnected world.”
