About John Doyle
Marsh CEO John Doyle discussed the Iran ceasefire and its implications for shipping in the Strait of Hormuz during an April 8, 2026, interview on CNBC. He described the ceasefire as welcome news for clients but noted that it was "very early" and that the primary issue remained the safety and security of crews and assets, not insurance availability. Doyle stated that private market solutions exist and that the U.S. government and the DFC working with private insurers could bring more capital and solutions as risks de-escalate. Doyle also expressed concern about elevated cyber risk, attributing it to growing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere. He said businesses must be "very, very mindful" of these risks and noted that while AI could offer defensive opportunities, it could also create opportunities for those seeking to disrupt the global economy.
