Lockton has appointed Hiram Marrero as president and chief growth officer for its operations in the US.  

Marrero will operate out of Miami, Florida. 

His primary focus will be to facilitate the company’s growth within the US, both geographically and across various industry sectors. 

He will collaborate with Tim Ryan, Lockton US president, and engage with regional leaders to execute the company’s growth plans.  

With 25 years of experience in the insurance industry, Marrero joined Lockton in 2016 and oversaw recruiting, onboarding and developing top talent.  

Ryan said: “Hiram has been a key contributor to Lockton’s industry-leading organic growth, both globally and across the US, and I am excited for him to take on this elevated role. His passion and leadership will help us continue to attract and develop the very best talent in the industry.” 

Marrero stated: “The bedrock of Lockton’s persistent growth is our outstanding culture, which is purpose-built around clients, associates and communities. By putting these three stakeholders first, we are creating the best place to do business and to work.  

“I look forward to collaborating with leaders across our US operations to develop strategies that grow our business while also making our clients’ businesses better.” 

Recently, Lockton acquired Benefits Communication Insourcing, which manages benefit communication and enrolment for HR departments, for an undisclosed amount.  

In June, the company named Sarah Downey as its new US professional and executive risk leader.
