Marsh Inc. has announced the appointment of David Bidmead to the newly created position of chief executive officer of Marsh US.

Bidmead, who was formerly Marsh’s US West Zone leader and CEO of Marsh Australia, will report directly to President of Marsh US/Canada Joe McSweeny.

In his new role he will assume responsibility for guiding the firm’s US retail brokerage operation and continue to lead Marsh’s other divisional business segments.

Currently, Marsh is streamlining its US zonal structure, moving from four to three zones with the South being split between the East and Central Zones.

Kris Davis will succeed Bidmead as West Zone leader, with Greg Stanbury and Bill Lyon leading the Central and East Zones respectively.

The zonal restructuring and appointments will all take effect during the second quarter.
