Damian Burley’s commitment to his work has seen him recognised with an accelerated path to leadership. Today, he leads business development in Victoria for Marsh’s largest client segment, Risk Management. In collaboration with Marsh’s national sales leaders, he has oversight of all RM prospective clients, including Australia’s largest private and public companies. Highlights of Burley’s career include having secured the business of a major energy and power company on a multi-year appointment outside of the standard tender process, as well as successfully defending two of the largest risk managed clients, which resulted in three-year reappointments. He’s taken a proactive role in developing colleagues for several years, seeking opportunities to assist others through mentoring. Notably, two of his long-term mentees have succeeded in earning promotions internally, both interstate and overseas. Looking ahead, Burley’s aim is to take on additional responsibilities with the ultimate goal of holding a strategic national senior leadership role.
