Marsh Sues More Former Employees Over "Scheme" to Open Howden US
Insurance broker Marsh has filed a new lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against seven of its former employees—Alfred Gronovius, Andrea Amodeo, Carlos Serio, Giovanni Perez, Janette Wilcox, Nathan Collins, and Richard Lennerth—now working for Howden US. The company accuses them of breaching employment contracts and orchestrating a covert plan to transfer confidential data and client relationships.
“Acting together, the defendants enabled Howden to enter the U.S. market overnight with a fully staffed workforce and book of business built on decades of Marsh investment and work,” Marsh stated in the filing.
The lawsuit claims that this coordinated departure allowed Howden to establish its U.S. retail broking operations almost instantly. Marsh contends that the employees’ actions were part of a larger plan to unfairly benefit Howden at Marsh’s expense.
Earlier, Marsh USA also brought claims against senior executives—including current Howden US CEO Michael Parrish, as well as Giselle Lugones, Robert Lynn, and Julie Layton—for allegedly leading an effort to recruit Marsh’s Florida zone personnel. According to the complaint, this occurred after Howden failed to acquire Risk Strategies and instead turned to hiring Marsh’s staff to speed its U.S. market entry.

Marsh accuses former employees now at Howden US of a coordinated scheme to steal trade secrets and clients, enabling Howden’s rapid emergence in the U.S. insurance market.
