Marsh appoints leader for its national public entity industry practice

Marsh has appointed Kevin Bryant to lead its national public entity industry practice.

Bryant is responsible for ensuring the highest service levels are maintained for state and local government and not-for-profit clients across the US.

He joins from Aon where he spent the last 14 years as executive vice president and resident managing director for Aon’s Greenville, South Carolina office. He brings more than 30 years of experience in the insurance brokerage industry, with particular expertise in assisting clients – including nonprofits and public entities – with property, casualty, and employee benefit strategies with an emphasis on cost containment.

Bryant remains in Greenville and reports to Jeffrey Alpaugh, Marsh’s US and Canada growth and industry leader.

Alpaugh said Marsh is developing services and solutions that “provide public entities with the protection they require to operate successfully and cost effectively in today’s more complex risk environment.”

Bryant added: “Public sector entities often must balance pursuing opportunities with addressing needs, such as aging infrastructure, disaster preparedness, law enforcement liability, cyber risk preparedness, and more recently pandemic resiliency.”
