Will Thomas-Ferrand, international practice leader at Marsh Captive Solutions, will assume leadership of the intermediary’s captive insurance business on 1 January 2025.
He will take on the new role as Ellen Charnley, president of Marsh Captive Solutions retires at the end of 2024.
In his new position, UK-based Thomas-Ferrand will report to Pat Donnelly, president, Marsh Specialty and Global Placement.
“Will’s knowledge and experience in the captive sector across various geographies, in addition to his unwavering dedication in supporting our captive insurance clients, makes him the ideal person to lead Marsh’s captive business going forward,” said Donnelly.
“I want to personally thank Ellen for her tremendous leadership over the last seven years and wish her well in her retirement.
“Ellen, Will, and our leadership team will be working closely together over the next few months to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.”
During his 20-years at the broker, Thomas-Ferrand has held various roles of responsibility within Marsh’s captive business.
He has previously led Marsh’s captive business in Malta and spent seven years largely working with U.S. clients in Bermuda. Most recently, Thomas-Ferrand has been heavily involved in Marsh’s push to make the UK a viable and attractive captive domicile option.
“Under Ellen’s leadership, Marsh’s captive capabilities have grown into a global network of experts that support our clients in navigating the captive insurance landscape, regulatory changes, and market dynamics,” said Thomas-Ferrand.
“I look forward to leading our highly successful team as we continue to champion captive insurance and alternative risk transfer solutions around the world.”
