Fentes has previously worked with Willis Towers Watson, CBIZ, and Aon in her career of over 20 years.

“Mike, Mickey, and Teri are respected professionals who share our passion for delivering client solutions,” said Doug Hutcherson, president of Lockton’s Southeast US operations.

“They will play important roles in the continued growth of our employee benefits and risk management consulting business in the region.”

Glenn Spencer, chief operating officer for Lockton, added: “This is an important part of our long-term investment in consulting expertise in both risk management and employee benefits.

“Our clients value the insight and advice that these new executives bring to the table, and we look forward to continued growth in the Southeast US.”
