Meet our Marsh Early Career Program alumni
"As a Marsh Early Career Program associate, I had the opportunity to work in multiple risk segments within Marsh including Private Equity and Professional lines of coverage. During my time in the program I developed a strong interest in client data quality and digital transformation. To diversify my experience and increase business exposure, I also volunteered a portion of time to the deployment of LINQ, our digitized client service experience. Applying my enthusiasm for data accuracy and learning systems to each department allowed me to build a niche that helped shape the role I am in today."

"As cliché as it sounds, the best part about working for Marsh is truly the people.  During my time as a Marsh Early Career Program associate, I had the opportunity to connect with many of Marsh’s thought and practice leaders as well as surrounded myself with an amazing team of smart and talented individuals. Learning in an environment where everyone unwaveringly supported my growth and development allowed me to become an integral part of the Chicago Corporate team.  I am happy to say that during my time, I went from supporting clients through my colleagues to quarterbacking account teams by the end of year 2.  The Marsh Early Career Program is truly special and I am glad I chose to join Marsh."
