products and services to meet the needs of multinational clients.
Mr. Allen, who also retains his current role as president of Marsh's Global Consumer division, will continue to report to Dan Glaser, chairman and CEO of Marsh, in both capacities.

"Hank's success in leading our Global Consumer division and extensive experience running businesses in the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific make him uniquely qualified to bring the full power of our capabilities to bear for clients around the globe."
A veteran of the leasing, consulting, and financial services industries, Mr. Allen has spent more than two decades acquiring, running, growing, and investing in companies across Europe, the Middle East, Far East, the Pacific, Latin America, and North America.
He became president of Marsh's Global Consumer division in 2006, relocating to Marsh's world headquarters in New York from London. Previously, Mr. Allen served in a variety of leadership roles with Marsh in Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia Pacific.
