Marsh McLennan Appoints Katherine J. Brennan Senior Vice President and General
Counsel

Peter J. Beshar departs to serve as General Counsel of the U.S. Department of
the Air Force

 

Today, Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC), the world’s leading professional services
firm in the areas of risk, strategy, and people, announced the appointment of
Katherine J. Brennan as Senior Vice President and General Counsel. She will
report to Dan Glaser, President and CEO of Marsh McLennan, and will join the
Company’s Executive Committee. The appointment is effective immediately.

Ms. Brennan will lead Marsh McLennan’s global legal, compliance and public
affairs function, which supports the Company’s four businesses, Marsh, Guy
Carpenter, Mercer and Oliver Wyman. She will also continue to lead the
Company’s ESG efforts.

“Kate is a remarkable leader and lawyer, who has grown throughout her career
here. Her experience leading a range of complex legal, compliance and
regulatory matters on behalf of the Company makes her the ideal candidate for
this role,” said Mr. Glaser. “We’re fortunate to have a colleague with
her knowledge, integrity and commitment poised to take on this critical
position.”

She succeeds Peter J. Beshar, who has served as the Company’s Executive Vice
President and General Counsel since 2004. Last fall, Mr. Beshar was nominated
by President Biden to serve as the General Counsel of the U.S. Department of
the Air Force. Yesterday, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed his
nomination.

“On behalf of our 83,000 colleagues, I want to express my gratitude to Peter
for his leadership and devotion to the company throughout nearly 20 years,”
said Mr. Glaser. “Peter has embodied our commitment to advancing good and
tirelessly promoted the Company’s reputation, helping us grow and thrive. He
has also been a champion of ethics, strong and effective governance practices,
and environmental and social causes. He leaves an amazing legacy at the
Company. We wish him continued success as he serves the United States at a
critical moment.”

Ms. Brennan has held several legal and compliance leadership roles at Marsh
McLennan, serving most recently as General Counsel, Marsh LLC. She also served
as Deputy Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer for Marsh McLennan
from 2017 to 2021, and prior to that, as General Counsel of Guy Carpenter.

Ms. Brennan currently serves on the Board of the Red Cross of Greater New
York. She is a graduate of Duke University and the University of Virginia
School of Law.
