Marsh & McLennan vice chairman John Sinnott is to retire in December, after over 40 years with the company.

Sinnott has held the position since July 2005, when he re-joined MMC after a period of retirement. He was also a director of Marsh Inc from June 2005 through December 2005 and chairman and chief executive officer of Marsh Inc from 1999 to December 2002 and chairman of Marsh until his retirement in July 2003. He joined Marsh & McLennan, Inc in 1963.

"Three and a half years after his originally planned retirement and after more than 43 years of service to Marsh & McLennan, Jack Sinnott has decided to 're-retire' at the end of this year," said Mike Cherkasky, president and chief executive officer of MMC.

"Jack clearly is not one to let any dust settle under him and intends to remain active by reinstating some long awaited plans with his wife, Eileen, and continuing to serve as a trustee/director on five not-for-profit boards and one public company board. We thank him for his loyalty and exceptional service to the firm over so many years and wish him and Eileen good health and much happiness in the future."
