Marsh brings Canadian energy hub under leadership of Bertil Olsson

Marsh is bringing its Canadian energy hub under the leadership of Bertil Olsson, who has been named North American energy practice leader.

Based in Houston, Olsson has led Marsh’s U.S. energy mining and power practice since 2008. He now has the additional responsibility and oversight for Marsh’s growing and expanding Canadian energy operations, based in Calgary.

Marsh said the move is to meet the increasing demands of Canadian oil and gas companies for more seamless risk expertise and solutions.

“U.S. and Canadian energy companies are often at the vanguard of innovation to meet the increasing demands for energy all over the world,” Olsson said in a press release. “As such, they face similar risk profiles. With closer coordination between our Canadian and U.S. energy hubs, Marsh will be in a better position to stay abreast of the ever-changing energy landscape and offer more seamless, world-class risk solutions to our North American clients, many of which have cross-border operations.”

Olsson will continue to be based in Houston and will report to Andrew George, Marsh’s global energy practice leader.
