Marsh, a leading global professional services firm, today announced the appointment of Jens Florian-Jansen as Head of its Insurance Practice, Europe, effective immediately. Matthias Grass, formerly CFO of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, succeeds Mr. Florian-Jansen as President of Marsh Risk Germany, effective immediately.

Mr. Florian-Jansen is based in Düsseldorf and reports to Julian Enoizi, CEO of Marsh Re Europe. Matthias Grass is based in Munich and reports to Achim Lüder, CEO of Marsh Germany, Northern, Central and Eastern Europe.

In this newly created role, Mr. Florian-Jansen will lead Marsh’s Insurance Practice across Europe, uniting the firm’s insurance, investments, capital markets, advisory, talent, and digital capabilities for insurance and reinsurance clients. He will strengthen Marsh’s industry-led approach and build an integrated service model supporting insurers and reinsurers to improve resilience, adapt business models, and manage organizational transformation. Since joining Marsh in 2009, Mr. Florian-Jansen has held senior roles spanning client advisory, placement, strategy and digital transformation, including leading Marsh’s digital agenda across Continental Europe before being appointed as President of Marsh Risk Germany in 2022.

Mr. Grass will lead the continued development of Marsh Risk Germany, with a focus on deepening client relationships and strengthening the advisory capabilities that help organizations identify, quantify and manage risk. He brings two decades of experience across insurance, transformation, and leadership, including senior roles at Swiss Re and McKinsey & Company. Most recently, he served as CFO and a member of the Executive Committee at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, where he led the global finance function and helped shape the business’s strategy.

Commenting on the appointments, Mr. Lüder said: “Jens has led Marsh’s risk business in Germany with distinction, deepening our client relationships and developing our expertise across key areas of risk. His appointment reflects both the strength of client and market relationships he has built in Germany and the opportunity to extend these across Europe. Matthias will build on this strong foundation, with a clear focus on delivering for clients. Together, their leadership will help us connect our capabilities more effectively and deliver greater value to clients in Germany and across Europe.”

Mr. Florian-Jansen added: “Insurance and reinsurance clients are navigating rapid industry shifts and an increasingly interconnected risk landscape. By connecting expertise from across Marsh more effectively around their needs, we can give clients greater access to the insights and capabilities they need to strengthen resilience and evolve their businesses. I look forward to working with colleagues across Europe to deliver the full breadth of Marsh to our insurance and reinsurance clients.”

Mr. Grass said: “German businesses are facing significant change, shaped by economic uncertainty, geopolitical developments, technological disruption, and evolving business models. As such, they require advice that combines deep knowledge of the German market with global expertise and perspective. I look forward to working with our clients to anticipate emerging risks, strengthen resilience, and pursue their growth ambitions with greater confidence.”
