Piccolomini said: “Christos is a highly experienced leader who excels in developing teams, services, and solutions across multiple geographies that benefit our clients and deliver growth. Under his leadership, our Continental Europe region will be well-placed to support clients in this rapidly-changing and often volatile risk landscape. On behalf of Marsh, I would like to thank Siegi for his service and extend our best wishes as he embarks on this next chapter in his life.”

Adamantiadis commented: “Clients across Continental Europe are facing some of the greatest economic and geopolitical challenges of their time. As risk advisors, our role is to help them find the right solutions that lead to stability and growth. I look forward to working with our strong regional team as we work together to enable our clients to manage their risks effectively and continue to thrive.”
