An appointment that attracted significant attention this year was the May announcement by Marsh McLennan Agency, the small and midsized brokerage unit of Marsh LLC, that Denise Perlman had been promoted to president of national business insurance.
The story on the leadership promotion at MMA was the ninth-most-read risk management-related story on Business Insurance’s website in 2023.
Richmond, Virginia-based Ms. Perlman, who joined MMA from Markel Group Inc. in 2018, was previously executive vice president of business insurance and national partnerships.
