Oliver Wyman, a global management consultancy and a business of Marsh McLennan, announced today the appointment of Giambattista "GB" Taglioni as Senior Partner in its insurance and asset management practice, effective immediately. Mr. Taglioni is based in Milan.
In his role, Mr. Taglioni is responsible for building the insurance and asset management franchise in three key areas. This includes leading the development of key client accounts in the Italian market, collaborating with European teams to support insurance clients in Europe, and spearheading the construction of global property and casualty underwriting and pricing capabilities within the practice.
Mr. Taglioni brings over 30 years of experience in the consulting industry to Oliver Wyman, most recently having been based in the United States as Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). During his time at BCG, he also served as the Global Head of Property and Casualty Insurance Practice, supporting insurance companies, banks, and asset managers in over 500 strategic projects and performance improvements. He began his career as a consultant in 1993 at McKinsey, where he stayed for 24 years, reaching the position of Senior Partner. In addition, he helped found McKinsey’s risk practice and was Risk Leader for its insurance practice, leader of its insurance practice in Italy, Chair of the Risk People Committee, and Head of Insurance in its global risk knowledge committee.
Mr. Taglioni said: "The insurance sector is undergoing significant transformation, driven by recent developments in new technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as increased volatility resulting from climate change and the geopolitical landscape. I am looking forward to contributing to an already excellent team that combines distinctive expertise in strategic and actuarial work, as well as risk management and transfer in collaboration with Marsh McLennan’s businesses Marsh, Mercer, and Guy Carpenter. Our group is uniquely positioned to provide concrete answers to the major challenges that the insurance sector will face in the coming years."
George Netherton, Partner and Head of European Insurance and Asset Management said: “GB will further fuel our growth agenda in the European insurance and asset management industries, which continue to be key areas of focus for us. We are unashamedly ambitious in what we can collectively achieve for our clients and communities in the sector, leveraging Oliver Wyman’s capabilities and our Marsh McLennan network.”

We are thrilled to have him join Oliver Wyman, enabling us to accelerate our efforts to better serve clients globally in their transformation moments.”
