Reflecting on the team's evolution, Matt Butts commented, “Enabling the next phase for Gallagher really comes down to our people, and I am thrilled to congratulate Jeff, Natalie, and Charles on their new roles. I have every confidence that they, along with their dedicated teams, will continue to deliver strong results both for Gallagher and our partners across the Americas."
