Jason Richardson will be the COO of Lockton's Southeast operations, with responsibility for offices in Atlanta, Greater Miami, and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Richardson will be responsible for the overall operations of Lockton Southeast including leading service teams in risk management and employee benefits consulting services in the three offices.
"Lockton has built a significant foundation of risk management and employee benefits expertise in this region, and we see tremendous opportunities for growth ahead," said Doug Hutcherson, president of Lockton's Southeast operations.
"We are counting on Jason's experience as a builder of teams to add to the blueprint that's propelled Lockton's remarkable growth around the globe."
Richardson will return to his roots in Atlanta, having begun his insurance brokerage career there with Hobbs Group, which was later acquired by HRH. Most recently, Richardson was a regional partner with insurance broker Willis in Northern California and in Colorado where he was in charge of insurance and brokerage operations.
His expertise includes sales development, insurance operations, executive risks, property and casualty insurance, construction risks, and captive insurance programs.
