Marsh and Bloomberg Launch Competitive Resilience Coalition to Navigate Global Disruption

Marsh and Bloomberg New Economy have launched the Competitive Resilience Coalition to help global organizations navigate systemic risks including climate change, geopolitical shifts, and artificial intelligence. For insurance professionals, this initiative signals a strategic shift toward integrating risk management into core corporate strategy, potentially redefining how carriers and brokers quantify enterprise value and long-term competitiveness.

What was announced

The Competitive Resilience Coalition was unveiled at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026 in New Delhi. The initiative is designed to provide public and private sector leaders with practical frameworks to manage risk and drive growth during periods of significant global change. The coalition focuses on five interconnected decision domains: geopolitics and geoeconomics, the natural environment, digital and AI, operations, and people and trust.

The coalition arrives as research indicates that 96% of CEOs are seeing increased board involvement due to global uncertainty, with competitive disruption now viewed as a primary opportunity and macroeconomic conditions as a top threat. The group aims to identify critical risk exposures and provide models that support sustained resilience across various sectors. During the forum, John Romeo, Managing Partner and CEO of Marsh’s Oliver Wyman Forum, led discussions on protecting enterprise value amid these shifts.

The founding members of the coalition represent a cross-section of insurance, finance, and policy leadership. Key figures include John Doyle, President and CEO of Marsh; Karen Saltser, CEO of Bloomberg Media; and Eric Andersen, President and CEO of AIG. Other members include Merit Janow of Mastercard, Dr. Taha Kass-Hout of GE HealthCare, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Ronald P. OʼHanley of State Street, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, and Christian Ulbrich of JLL.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has extensively covered Bloomberg’s technological expansions and data integration efforts. In October 2026, the publication reported that Bloomberg ASKB Hits General Availability: Conversational AI Now Integrates Private Chats and Files, highlighting the firm's push into advanced AI workflows. Earlier that month, reports detailed how Bloomberg Launches First Fully Automated Japanese Government Bond Market-on-Close Trading Workflow. Additionally, the network covered the launch of a Real-Time Stablecoin Dashboard on Terminal via Allium Partnership and the strategic move where Bloomberg Acquires Canoe Intelligence to Automate Private Markets Data Workflows.

What this means from an insurtech perspective

From an insurtech perspective, this coalition underscores a pivot from reactive indemnity to proactive resilience. For carriers and MGAs, the focus on "interconnected decision domains" like AI and the natural environment suggests that traditional, siloed underwriting models are becoming insufficient for modern corporate risks. Technology vendors that can provide cross-domain data integration will be in high demand as brokers seek to translate these resilience frameworks into tangible risk transfer solutions. The involvement of major players like AIG and Marsh indicates that the market is moving toward a standardized language for corporate resilience, which could eventually influence how commercial premiums are calculated and how capital is allocated in the reinsurance sector.
