Marsh has appointed Jacob Fitzroy as its climate and sustainability risk consulting leader for the Pacific region, the global broker said on Thursday.
Fitzroy joins from Deloitte, where he most recently served as a director overseeing climate risk assessments and strategy development. Previously, he worked as a strategic advisor in Jacobs’ climate response, ESG and energy transition practice.
Based in Sydney, he brings industry experience in climate scenario analysis, decarbonisation and strategic resilience.
The appointment comes as climate adaptation gains importance for businesses and risk advisers, with organisations facing growing exposure to multiple climate-related perils.
Marsh’s 2026 Climate Adaptation Survey, which covered more than 120 organisations across eight regions, found that 60% of respondents were dealing with multiple perils, including flooding, extreme heat and water stress. However, only 57% were conducting forward-looking assessments, while 26% said their adaptation measures were being recognised in insurance negotiations.
Fitzroy’s appointment comes amid a series of leadership changes across Marsh’s Asia-Pacific operations. The broker recently appointed Shawn Willis to the newly created role of captive strategy leader for the Pacific.
In September, the broker appointed its Thailand CEO Derek Heng to the additional role of Marsh ASEAN chief executive, while Peta Latimer joined as CEO of Marsh Singapore.
More recently, Marsh completed the acquisition of ENEOS Insurance Service in Japan, appointing Hiroyuki Hata as president.
