Marsh Risk VP John Raymond named 2026 Transportation Power Broker

The profile highlights Raymonds focus on railroad insurance and describes how the railroad insurance market is close-knit among clients, underwriters, and competitors.

Risk & Insurance spotlights John Raymond, a senior vice president at Marsh Risk, in its Brilliance in Focus series, noting he is a 2026 Transportation Power Broker.

Raymond, who said he entered insurance by chance early in his career, points to the railroad industry as the reason he stayed, citing the people and the work, including clients, colleagues, and underwriting partners.

He also describes railroad insurance, covering both freight and passenger, as smaller and close-knit than he expected, with clients and underwriters often familiar with one another.

The profile urges brokers to do things differently, saying experimentation and smart risk-taking help deliver better value, rather than relying on a standard playbook.
