Lockton has appointed two Latin America senior executives, Andrew Perry and Ed Fyfe, and promoted Marcela Flores to form a new Lockton regional Latin America executive, effective 1 May 2020.
Perry joins from Marsh, where he held senior appointments including CEO of Carpenter Marsh in Latin America and the Caribbean, Mercer Marsh benefits international leader, and
Marsh regional Latin American and Caribbean leader for client and business development.
Most recently, Fyfe worked at Willis Towers Watson, where he has worked for 34 years as head of CRB retail and regional leader, large accounts and industries in Latin America, and also regional leader, property and energy in Miami.
Currently serving as president, producer and CEO of Loxton Mexico, Flores has more than 30 years of experience working as a specialist in optimising risk management plans, employee benefits and actuarial consulting for national and international companies.
She has worked with various companies as a consultant on pooling, global quoting and captive insurers.
As part of the Latin American expansion, Lockton will focus on developing its employee benefits, property and casualty and corporate business propositions in the region.
Commenting on the hires, Neil Nimmo, Lockton International CEO said: “Latin America has always interested Lockton as a major regional opportunity, but we hadn’t found the right moment to invest. We are now ready to capitalise on our unique status as the only top five, private global independent broker and significantly grow our presence in this vibrant region rich in culture, human capital and natural resource.”
“We recognise and respect our key partners in Latin America, with whom we will work hand in glove to grow together. At the same time, we will continue to look to expand our geographic footprint as talent and clients dictate.”
“With the aid of our world-class experienced management team, Lockton can now execute on its Latin America strategy, expanding our reach and adding resource to the region.”
