Marsh has appointed Kelly Butler as UK cyber leader. She will take up the London-based role in October and report to Beth Thurston, CEO, UK financial and professional lines at Marsh. She will be responsible for the strategic development and delivery of Marsh UK cyber insurance and placement capabilities.

Thurston said: “Kelly is an outstanding leader who has spearheaded numerous market-leading initiatives in the Pacific region. As UK cyber leader Kelly will play a pivotal role in creating the next-generation cyber solutions that Marsh’s clients need to mitigate rapidly-evolving cyber threats, while maximising the opportunities associated with new and emerging technologies.”

Butler added: “While cyber risk and its associated threats are rightly a key boardroom concern, many organisations are still struggling to develop meaningful risk mitigation and insurance programmes that will protect their people and assets in the event of a major cyber incident. I look forward to working with the UK team and our Marsh McLennan colleagues globally to help clients develop their cyber defences.”
