Gallagher is advancing its Nordic growth strategy with the appointment of Morten Aaserud as head of Large and Complex Risk in Norway. This recruitment marks the launch of a new P&C practice in Norway, contributing to the strengthening of Gallagher's position in the Nordic insurance market.
Morten Aaserud brings nearly two decades of experience in the insurance industry, having held senior roles across construction risk, property and casualty, financial lines, as well as marine and energy insurance. He holds a Master of Law degree from the University of Oslo and has also gained significant expertise through legal and leadership roles within the energy and marine sectors.
In his new role, Morten will lead the development of a local team in Norway, foster collaboration with colleagues across the Nordics and Europe, and drive growth within in new client segments, with primary focus on large and complex organisations. Gallagher already holds a strong position in marine and energy insurance in Norway. By introducing leading risk and insurance expertise across a wider range of industries, Gallagher is now able to offer a more comprehensive range of solutions tailored to the needs of Norwegian businesses.
"We are thrilled to welcome Morten to Gallagher. His extensive experience and leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our presence in Norway. We are excited to continue our growth journey and further develop our operations in close partnership with our colleagues across the Nordics and Europe," said Anders Mjaaland, CEO of Gallagher in Norway.
"Expanding our capabilities in Norway is an integral part of our broader growth strategy in the Nordics. Our ambition is to be the trusted insurance partner for businesses across the region, delivering innovative risk management solutions that not only mitigate risk but also enable growth and resilience," added Jonas Bergfeldt, CEO of Gallagher in the Nordics.
