Copenhagen, 11 July, 2011 – Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, today announced the appointment of Henrik Larsen as CEO of Marsh Denmark. Henrik Larsen succeeds Jens Brandum, who is leaving the company in August to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

Mr Larsen was previously Marsh Denmark’s Head of Business Development and Sales. Prior to joining Marsh in August 2005 he held senior sales positions at Intrum Justitia A/S and E-Boks A/S. He commenced his career in 1987 in the banking industry.

Mark Pollard, CEO Marsh Nordics, said: “Henrik has established a deserved reputation for consistently identifying and developing growth opportunities, while ensuring clients receive excellent service and business functions operate efficiently. He is therefore very well qualified to take over leadership of our Danish activities and strengthen its overall performance and results.
