An Australian-born, global citizen, Renée McGowan has built an impressive 25-year career leading regional and international businesses across major cities worldwide. Her thirst for knowledge and connection sparked a global expedition at 17 and, subsequently, a lifetime of travel and experiences. Together with her husband, children and two dogs, she has called Singapore, London, New York, Hong Kong and now Dubai home.

Today, as CEO for India, Middle East & Africa at Marsh McLennan, she thrives on driving growth for the business, delivering exceptional value to clients and coaching leaders of tomorrow.

On a more personal note, she is an advocate for women in leadership and girls' education and champion of financial inclusion, gender equality and transformative education. With an ongoing commitment to personal and professional growth, she embodies leadership's constant evolution. Her hope is that her journey will inspire others to carve their distinct paths to success.
