Guy Carpenter condenses management structure

Guy Carpenter has announced a number of changes to its global management structure, as follows:

Chris McKeown has been appointed vice chairman and will in future focus on implementing key strategic initiatives (including capital creation), having previously served as president and chief executive officer of the group’s North American broking operations.

In addition, the firm’s US regions have been reduced from three territories to two and Peter Chandler has been named US Eastern region leader, while Pat Denzer becomes Western region leader.

Both will report to Alex Moczarski, Guy Carpenter’s president and chief executive officer.

Terry Russell, formerly the firm’s US Mid-America region leader, will instead focus on the development of global agriculture, surety and medical malpractice business, reporting to Andrew Marcell, chief executive officer of global practices and head of placement strategy.

Commenting on the changes, Mr Moczarski says: “These appointments condense existing management tiers, thus allowing us to offer more efficient service to our clients.”

He adds: “Our newly aligned structure will enable us to deliver increasingly differentiated solutions that continue to distinguish Guy Carpenter as our clients’ most trusted strategic advisor.”
