HOUSTON—Marsh Inc. is uniting its U.S. and Canadian energy practices under the leadership of one individual, the company announced Wednesday.
Bertil Olsson has been named North American energy practice leader, Marsh said in a statement. Previously, Mr. Olsson was U.S. energy, mining and power practice leader, responsible for all U.S.-based energy hubs. With this new appointment, he now oversees Marsh's Calgary, Canada-based operations as well.
“U.S. and Canadian energy companies are often at the vanguard of innovation to meet the increasing demands for energy all over the world. As such, they face similar risk profiles,” said Mr. Olsson in the statement. “With closer coordination between our Canadian and U.S. energy hubs, Marsh will be in a better position to stay abreast of the ever-changing energy landscape and offer more seamless, world-class risk solutions to our North American clients, many of which have cross-border operations.”
Mr. Olsson reports to Andrew George, Marsh's global energy practice leader. Jody Draude, who leads the Canada energy operations, now reports to Mr. Olsson, a Marsh spokeswoman said.
Mr. Olsson continues to be based in Houston.
