Deloitte’s Clark heads to Gallagher

Arthur J Gallagher has appointed Deloitte partner Ian Clark as strategic business consultant to its UK and international operations.

Clark, who has been a partner at the firm for 24 years and led the company’s insurance M&A and strategy practice for a decade, will support Arthur J Gallagher management on the setting and execution of their broking and underwriting strategy.

“Having previously led a strategic review of our business and advised on subsequent acquisitions, Ian is uniquely qualified to assist us in realising our UK and international ambitions. His decades-long deep industry insight will be invaluable and a fantastic complement to our internal expertise and entrepreneurial vigour,” said Arthur J Gallagher International chief executive officer, David Ross.

“As we look to consolidate our position as a top three UK retail broker and build out our footprint in rapidly emerging economies, the shape of our operations changes by necessity requiring further strategic insight. Ian is exactly the right person to provide that.”

Clark added: “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to continue working alongside David and the senior management team with their unshakeable focus on delivering profitable growth right across Arthur J Gallagher’s UK and international broking and underwriting operations.”

Clark is set to retire from Deloitte on February 28.
