Meet Phill

I am a Managing Principal in our FINPRO Specialty Practice, specialising in Directors & Officers Liability and Cyber Insurance for major clients. I also have the privilege of leading a small team of superstar brokers! Prior to joining Marsh, I worked with my current team in a different capacity – as an underwriter for a major insurer. I’ve been given some great opportunities at Marsh:  In 2019, I started our Marsh Australia PRIDE Resource Group. More recently, I am on a secondment to our Technical Services team where I am developing innovative training programs for brokers.

Which of our Marsh shared characters — passionate, human, inquisitive, or enterprising — resonates most with you?

Definitely inquisitive! I take pride in learning about my clients and their risks, and helping them find the right solutions. My inquisitive nature extends far outside of work – I love to travel and learn all about the world. I’ve been to all seven continents and plan to visit as many countries as possible!

How does a hybrid work environment support you in doing your work?

Our hybrid work environment has been instrumental in facilitating meeting colleagues in other offices around Australia and New Zealand. I now know so many more people than I did two years ago, and this new way of working has really helped drive collaboration beyond my immediate team.

At Marsh, we protect and promote possibility. How does Marsh make your personal passion a possibility? 

By far my biggest personal passion is travel. I recently expressed interest in moving to London because it would help facilitate easier travel to regions I haven’t explored as thoroughly (and also be a great career opportunity!). I was surprised by how quickly Marsh came to the table with a role for me that is perfectly suited to my skillset. I’m excited to move across later this year, work in the London market, and get the opportunity to travel more of Europe, Africa, and beyond!
