Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, today announced the appointment of Robert Perry as UK CEO, Credit Specialties, Marsh Specialty, in addition to his current role as Global Political Risk & Structured Credit Leader, effective immediately. Mr. Perry is based in London and will report to Nick Robson, Global Leader, Credit Specialties, Marsh Specialty, and Dominic Samengo-Turner, UK CEO, Marsh Specialty.
With over 850 colleagues in more than 55 countries, the Credit Specialties team brings together the key credit risk transfer and product disciplines of political risk and structured credit insurance, trade credit insurance, and surety.
In his new role, Mr. Perry will oversee the development of Credit Specialties’ risk and insurance services and solutions for UK clients and international clients using the London insurance market, which includes corporate businesses, financial institutions, commodity traders, and public agencies.

Commenting on Mr. Perry’s appointment, Mr. Robson said: “While organisations remain firmly committed to their growth agendas and see opportunity for growth in a changing world, many are confronting highly complex geopolitical and economic risks that are impacting investment opportunities and challenging historic supply chains. With his extensive global experience, our UK & International clients will benefit enormously from Rob’s leadership and expanded remit.”
Mr. Perry added: “The investment strategies of many global financial corporations are becoming increasingly complex as a result of major geopolitical crises, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the uncertain economic outlook. Marsh Specialty’s UK Credit Specialties team, working together with our global colleagues, is exceptionally well placed to support clients achieve sales growth, investment and capital management goals through its market leading services and solutions.”
