Marsh promotes former FINPRO head to lead Pacific North Partnership

Marsh L.L.C. has promoted Lou Ann Layton to lead its Pacific North Partnership, which includes Marsh’s Denver, Honolulu, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Portland offices, Marsh said in a statement.

Ms. Layton, who will be based in San Francisco, succeeds Mike Kelly, who was both Pacific North Partnership leader and head of Marsh’s San Francisco office, a spokeswoman for Marsh said. Mr. Kelly will remain San Francisco office head, she said.

Previously, Ms. Layton led Marsh’s U.S. FINPRO unit, the financial and professional liability practice, Marsh said. New York-based Devin Beresheim, who was previously FINPRO’s U.S. East zone leader, will take over from Ms. Layton, according to the statement.
