Lockton Re looks to Aon to expand in ‘fastest growing’ industry segments

Lockton Re, the global reinsurance business of broker Lockton, has hired a senior executive from Aon to lead its expansion into one of the “fastest growing” industry segments following the January renewal season.

Rob Kreager joins Lockton Re as senior broker and accident, health & life segment leader.

Kreager was most recently a managing director & co-leader of accident, health & life global client practice at Aon, having joined the business in 2017. Prior to that, he was a SVP at Guy Carpenter and spent time at Willis in business development.

In his new role based New York, Kreager will focus on North America, while working across global clients and opportunities.

“Rob will be a great addition to our expanding global presence,” said Nick Durant, North America CEO at Lockton Re. “His expertise in Accident, Health & Life will help us build a business in one of the fastest growing industry segments and is highly complementary to our other segments like Healthcare and Casualty.”

Durant added: “As a global reinsurance broker, creating an Accident, Life and Health segment was a natural progression in meeting clients’ needs. Rob is a fantastic addition as we continue to grow following a busy and successful 1 Jan renewal season. Rob’s reputation, wealth of experience and strong relationships will all be a huge asset in bringing innovative solutions to clients.”

Kreager said: “I am thrilled to have joined Lockton Re and really excited to work with such a strong team. I see enormous opportunity in the Accident, Health & Life segment, Lockton Re’s SAGE platform and the company’s ability to build teams with diverse skillsets and experience, on a foundation of such strong collaboration, means we can offer a truly differentiated service to capitalise on this opportunity. I would expect our growth and expansion to be rapid and well received.”
