Insurance broker Marsh announced that Michael Lewis has been promoted to president, Marsh Risk Canada, effective April 1.
In this role, Lewis will lead the strategic development and execution of Marsh Risk’s Canada commercial strategy, which encompasses its risk management, corporate and commercial client segments, risk consulting services, and specialty insurance broking solutions.
He will also work closely with Marsh’s country leaders to deliver the firm’s market-leading capabilities across risk, reinsurance and capital, people and investments and management consulting to clients.
Lewis succeeds Sarah Robson, who will continue to serve as Marsh Canada CEO. He will report jointly to Robson and Michelle Sartain, president, Marsh Risk for US and Canada.
Lewis currently serves as chief commercial officer (CCO) for Marsh Canada and head of Specialty and Industry for Marsh Risk Canada. He will retain his CCO role alongside his new responsibilities as president. A new head of Specialty and Industry will be named in due course.
Lewis joined Marsh Risk in 2006 as part of its Workforce Strategies group in Australia. He moved to Hong Kong in 2013 to lead the Workforce Strategies group there, then moved to Canada in 2018 to become the National Growth and Industry leader.
Commenting on the appointment, Robson said: “Michael’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as our Canadian clients face unprecedented economic and geopolitical volatility, including evolving trade policies, regulatory changes, and complex global risks. His commitment to clients, deep experience, and leadership will be critical in helping our clients navigate these challenges.”
