COO
Marsh & McLennan Agency
Despite falling into insurance by accident when she joined Oliver Wyman, part of Marsh & McLennan, 15 years ago, Christina Mott says that “if I were to start my career over again, insurance brokerage would definitely be one of the top few that I would enter. Every day, I get to work on innovations that help our colleagues better serve clients through data analytics, technology tools and operational best practices.”
Mott attended school in South Korea, California, Spain and Switzerland, and she says the exposure to different cultures emphasized the importance of diversity and helped shape her career trajectory. “I continue to look for ways to broaden my horizons through helping others,” she says. “For example, training healthcare workers in Rwanda opened up a world that was completely unknown to me. I was also delighted to be able to mentor, through the Cherie Blair Foundation, a professor in Kenya who wanted to pursue her dream of building a preschool for children living in poverty. I continue to be amazed and inspired by the people I meet from all parts of the world.”
