Williamson will assume the position on August 1st and will report to Martin South, Marsh’s President and CEO. He takes over from Brian Hanuschak, who was appointed Chairman of Victor.

“Victor’s advanced technology and innovative approach to matching risk, distribution, and capital, is second to none,” said Williamson.

“I look forward to leading Victor’s exceptional global team as we continue to build industry-leading underwriting programs and insurance solutions for our distribution partners,” he added.
