39 MARSH EXECUTIVES CITED AS TOPS IN THEIR FIELD BY RISK & INSURANCE®  MAGAZINE

NEW YORK, February 23, 2009 — A leading U.S. risk magazine has recognized 39 executives of Marsh, the world's leading insurance broker and risk advisor, as among the top brokers serving clients in various industry sectors. 

In its current February 2009 issue, Risk & Insurance® magazine published a list of 146 of its "Power Brokers™," the country's top insurance brokerage executives within 25 different industry categories.  The magazine's editors and writers developed the list with the help of more than 300 risk managers and made their selections based on the brokers’ creativity in solving risk-related problems, industry knowledge, and high level of client service. 

The 39 Marsh insurance brokerage and risk advisory executives who qualified as "Power Brokers" accounted for one-fourth of the 146 honorees and represented the largest number of executives from any one firm. 

"This noteworthy recognition of Marsh brokers reflects the depth of our industry expertise and the dedication of our colleagues in doing their utmost to get results for our clients," said Dan Glaser, Chairman and CEO of Marsh Inc.  "The work of these individuals is an example of our enduring commitment to making a quality difference for our clients every day, around the world."

The Power Broker™ designations are based on nominations provided by brokers and risk managers as judged by separate panels of risk managers for each industry segment.  According to Risk & Insurance®, more than 300 risk managers were interviewed in the process of identifying and soliciting, evaluating and judging the final nominations. Brokers were judged primarily on their creativity in solving risk-related problems during 2008, their demonstrated industry knowledge and their high level of client service.

Risk & Insurance®, published 15 times a year, focuses on thought-provoking, leading edge, strategic articles about risk management and insurance. The magazine identifies emerging issues and personalities in risk management and covers property-casualty insurance, insurance brokerage, alternative risk, reinsurance, business continuity, catastrophes, workers’ compensation, enterprise and operational risk, disability management and employee benefits.
