Matt Terry
Suzy combines a comprehensive background and expertise in Private Equity and M&A with a strong commercial sense and fair and considered approach at all times. In a short space of time Suzy has also built up an impressive understand of all matters relating to risk, insurance and now human capital. She quickly builds up highly effective partnerships which ensures she gets the best out of Marsh, and I'm sure all her advisers, because we want to deliver for her. The consummate professional but also great fun to work with.
