About Jim Dunn

Experienced construction risk leader with over 30 years of experience guiding clients through volatility by providing an experienced perspective and confidence to thrive amid shifting macroeconomic trends. As a purpose-driven and team-focused leader, I have the honor to lead a team that has a deep commitment to developing the next generation of leaders to ensure the construction industry thrives today and into the future.Marsh’s construction practice is the destination of choice for clients and colleagues seeking long-term consistency and stability. For over 40 years, we’ve supported clients through the entirety of the build cycle, enabling them to confront their most pressing challenges. With over 1200 construction specialists worldwide, we are dedicated to helping contractors, owners and developers, as well as lenders and financiers, protect their investments across all sectors of the construction and infrastructure industry.Professionally, I am passionate about the next generation of leaders. With a firm belief clients are looking for stability and consistency of service, I see the opportunity to mentor that next generation to carry that mindset forward. I hold a strong belief it will serve the industry, clients, and our colleagues well as they steward the practice forward into the future well beyond me.Personally, I’m a dirt-moving and heavy equipment nerd. Anything involving heavy construction equipment gets my attention. Equipment auctions, Western performance horses, and DIY projects at home are my go-to hobbies. Home for me is on the back of a tractor, bulldozer, skid steer or excavator working on the family property while catching up on podcasts.
