Sara Picchio is regarded as one of the most enterprising, engaged, dynamic and hard-working employees in Marsh’s private equity and M&A team, consistently delivering excellent results for clients since commencing with the organisation. She’s responsible for advising Marsh clients involved in mergers and acquisitions in Australia and New Zealand, focusing on structuring and negotiating transactional risk insurance programs, including warranties and indemnities (W&I) insurance, for private equity funds and strategic investors on both domestic and cross-border transactions. Since entering the W&I insurance market last year, Picchio has contributed to the structuring and execution of some of the key transactions in the Australian M&A space involving private equity funds, strategic buyers (both listed and unlisted), and sellers. She’s also built the first aggregate database of W&I statistics for the Australian market, with the intention of sharing the current trends in the market and influencing its future developments. Picchio is also participating in W&I education sessions and insurance events in efforts to enhance the W&I insurance knowledge in the M&A market.
