The 2027 Executives to Watch: Starr’s Duncan Ellis
Having held senior roles at both Marsh and AIG, industry veteran Duncan Ellis has joined Starr as Executive Vice President, Client Engagement, a position he assumed in early October.
Reporting to Steve Blakey, president and CEO of Starr Insurance Holdings, Ellis is tasked with deepening the company’s relationships with clients and partners across the breadth of Starr’s business.
“Starr’s exceptional reputation in the market was a central reason for me joining the firm, as was the opportunity to apply everything I’ve learned working on both sides of the table,” Ellis said.
“I saw an exciting opportunity to bring my experience and strengths to Starr, build on its already strong relationships across the market and help clients achieve greater success,” he added.
Ellis has been in the industry for decades. His longest continuous stint was with the Marsh & McLennan Companies, where he spent 26-plus years as Managing Director, U.S. Property Practice Leader. That was followed by a stint as Managing Director, U.S. Property Practice and Alternative Risk Transfer Leader.
