About

As senior vice president, corporate counsel and compliance officer at the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor company, Marsh, Anne Worm-Peterson is praised for her ‘unique ability for making the complex less complex’ and her ‘sharp legal assessment combined with a practical and business-oriented approach’. Worm-Peterson has been pivotal in changing the role of the legal department ‘from a controller to a facilitator and consultant’, while closing the cultural and legal gap between the USA’s Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) environment and the Scandinavian leadership ethic. In addition to her capabilities to overcome cross-culture differences, Worm-Peterson places heavy weighting on empowering her colleagues to make decisions on business risks with legal implications, rather than to rely solely on procedures. Worm-Peterson is a robust in-house lawyer with a deep commercial understanding of the company and commendable leadership characterises under which she allows her team members to take on responsibilities and grow individually for the better of the entire team.
