Liberty looks to major international firm for first aviation claims head

Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, has hired its first head of aviation claims from a major international law firm.

Peng Lim (pictured) will join  LSM in November to take up the newly created role designed to support the growth of the insurer’s aviation book. She will relocate to London, reporting to Mike Gillett,  LSM’s chief claims officer.

Lim is currently Kennedys’ Singapore-based global head of aviation. Prior to joining the firm in 2014 she worked with another major international law firm Clyde & Co.

“We are delighted that Peng is joining  Liberty,” Gillett said. “She’s been a leading partner at Kennedys for many years and will relocate to London to join us. As an extremely high-profile figure within our industry, she brings unrivalled knowledge of the sector – knowledge that will benefit our clients not only at the point of claim but throughout their relationship with  LSM. Her appointment once again shows our commitment to hire exceptional talent to support the ambition of  LSM and our clients.”

Meghan Walker,  LSM’s head of aviation, said: “Peng is a terrific addition to  LSM’s team.  Her market-leading knowledge, experience and relationships all demonstrate our continued commitment to bring top talent and solutions to our clients and brokers.  From policy production to claims advisory and settlement, Peng’s appointment shows  LSM’s firm focus on leading in the market.”
