He joined Marsh in 2011 as part of the acquisition of Strategic Benefit Solutions in Atlanta. Studer commented, “Since launching in 2009, Marsh Agency has become the premier middle-market agency, delivering differentiated property/casualty insurance and employee benefits solutions to clients nationwide. Matt combines strategic vision with a strong client focus and the ability to align our business for further expansion, and he is the right leader to guide Marsh Agency forward. “Dave is widely recognised for helping to shape Marsh Agency’s acquisition-led growth strategy over the last 17 years, bringing together high-quality regional middle-market businesses and equipping them with the tools to thrive. Under his leadership, Marsh Agency has acquired more than 100 leading agencies and grown to more than $5 billion in revenue. His leadership of this build has been extraordinary.” Stadler said, “I am honoured to build on the extraordinary foundation Dave has built and lead Marsh Agency into its next chapter. We will stay focused on helping middle-market clients manage risk and grow, while continuing to invest in our colleagues and capabilities.” Eslick added, “It has been a privilege to help build Marsh Agency into the premier organisation it is today. Today’s leadership appointments reflect the strength of the team we have developed and the continued evolution of Marsh Agency as we position the business for its next chapter.”
