Marsh has appointed Poppy Foxton as Head of Corporate and Commercial for the Pacific region, the company announced on LinkedIn on Friday, October 3.

Foxton first joined Marsh in early 2024 and has been promoted from her role as Head of Corporate Australia. Prior to joining the business, she spent 12 years with Honan Insurance, including as National Head of Corporate Insurance and Risk Solutions.

“I am excited to lead such an exceptional team,” Foxton said. “The Pacific region’s evolving mid-market sector is full of energy and momentum, and we’re proud to continue delivering the best of Marsh to our clients and showing up for each other as a team.”

The appointment comes as Marsh continues to strengthen its senior leadership in the region, including the appointment of Damian Schinck as President of its Pacific operations in early September, as well as Maurice Gatto as Head of Global Placement and Scott Eccleston as Head of Risk Management, also last month.
