deLaricheliere highlighted Quintal’s experience in digital asset risk transfer, having advised various well established financial institutions and early stage fintech, insurtech, cryptocurrency, and blockchain firms. “She is the ideal person to lead Marsh’s US digital asset efforts forward working across Marsh to deliver broad risk understanding and strategic risk transfer solutions to traditional and evolving financial institutions,” he said.

Proferes added: “Our clients continue to face very challenging D&O trading conditions and need a firm with deep expertise in the D&O insurance product and marketplace.”
