“Since joining Marsh, Janelle has helped build and expand the company’s logistics capabilities across the U.S. and Canada, and her experience and leadership skills make her ideally suited to lead this important function on a global basis, providing our clients with the solutions they need to thrive in today’s complex and volatile risk environment.”
Griffiths added: “As the logistics industry landscape continues to evolve, it is increasingly important that customers have access to solutions that reflect the realities of modern supply chains, including the latest insights, data and expertise to effectively manage risk and grow their business.
“I look forward to leading Marsh’s dedicated global logistics team as we work to manage disruption, build resilience, drive innovation and provide the right guidance, insurance programs and risk mitigation strategies to minimize disruption and maximize growth opportunities.”
