Brussels | 17 September, 2024
Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC), the world’s leading professional services firm in the areas of risk, strategy and people, today announced the appointment of Kristof De Bremme as CEO of Marsh McLennan, Belgium and Luxembourg, and President, Marsh, Belgium and Luxembourg, in succession to Rebecca Tielemans. Mr. De Bremme will relocate from London to Brussels and report to Christos Adamantiadis, CEO, Marsh McLennan, Europe.
In this role, Mr. De Bremme will ensure that clients in the region have access to the wide range of services and solutions from across Marsh McLennan to meet the business challenges they face, with responsibility for leading a team across Marsh McLennan’s offices in Brussels, Luxembourg, Antwerp, and Ghent. In his leadership position at Marsh, the world’s top insurance broker and risk advisor, he will be responsible to deliver market-leading insurance solutions and risk advisory services to clients across the Belgium and Luxembourg region.
Mr. De Bremme rejoined the business in December 2023 as Marsh’s Head of Marine, Cargo & Logistics, Europe having begun his career at Marsh in 1998 as a Senior Client Executive for global marine and energy clients, based in Antwerp, for nine years. Before returning to the business, he spent 14 years at AIG in various senior underwriting roles, most recently serving as Global Head of Marine from 2016 to 2022.
Commenting on the appointment, Mr. Adamantiadis said: “Kristof is an outstanding leader who has consistently demonstrated his unerring commitment to clients and colleagues throughout his career. With his leadership and the power of Marsh McLennan’s global capabilities, our teams in Belgium and Luxembourg are well-placed to support clients navigate their way through the ever-challenging risk environment and continue to thrive.”
Mr. De Bremme added: “While globally recognised as major hubs for policy, regulation and trade, companies operating in Belgium and Luxembourg are particularly vulnerable to fluctuating economic cycles and talent shortages, as well as risks associated with cyber threats and natural catastrophes such as flooding. I look forward to working with Marsh McLennan’s risk, advisory, and analytics colleagues to deliver the best of the business to our clients in the Belgium and Luxembourg region, and contributing to their success.”
