Lockton has appointed Devin Beresheim as executive vice president at its Lockton Specialty Practices, replacing Brian Kawamoto who retired last year.
With 28-years in the insurance industry, Beresheim joins Lockton from Marsh where he most recently served as the Financial and Professional Liability (FINPRO) Practice Leader – US and Canada. In this role, Devin led the practice responsible for providing strategic advice to clients related to directors and officers (D&O), errors and omissions (E&O), cyber/privacy, transactional risk, and related insurance products and solutions.
In his new role, he will lead Lockton Financial Services and will build strategic growth plans across Lockton’s specialty practices. He will report to Peter Clune, US president and chief operating officer, and will also work closely with Anthony Dagostino, who recently joined Lockton, to build out cyber strategies.
Ron Lockton, president and CEO of Lockton Companies, said: “Devin's background and experience will be a huge benefit to our clients, producers and associates. The very best in the industry are choosing Lockton’s private ownership and entrepreneurial culture, and we’re energized to have Devin join our team.”
Beresheim said: “I am thrilled to join a firm with a world-class culture that has consistently outpaced the industry with tremendous growth. It is a testament to Lockton’s client-first approach. Lockton stands out in a consolidating marketplace, and their priorities are clear – clients, associates and community.”
