Price Forbes snags 18-year Lockton vet to steer future growth

Price Forbes, part of Ardonagh Specialty, has tapped an 18-year Lockton veteran as new deputy chief executive officer to help drive its future growth.

Sarah Horler will take up her new role in May 2024. She joins the leadership team of Ardonagh Specialty’s insurance segment, working alongside Price Forbes trading CEOs Andrew Draycott, Conor Geraghty and Graham Kilby.

Horler has spent the last 18 years at Lockton, latterly as a partner and executive committee member of its Private Equity Corporate Acquisitions Practice (PECAP), where she was responsible for the portfolio managers as well as clients across banking, financial institutions, commodities, shipping and professional services. 

She previously held several management roles, including operational management and executing on a number of Board projects. Prior to Lockton, Horler worked at Marsh. 

Ardonagh said Horler brings with her extensive experience managing complex projects and portfolios, working with global clients across multiple territories and sectors.

Andrew Wallin, CEO of Ardonagh Specialty, said: “Sarah’s fantastic reputation precedes her, and I feel incredibly lucky to have her on board to help steer Price Forbes into the future. If we’re going to build on our own reputation, and continue to place complex risks for our clients, empower the next generation of brokers and drive progress across the industry - we need to harness the skills of the very best leaders. Sarah definitely fits that description, and I’m looking forward to having her solutions-orientated drive, creativity and wisdom behind our sails.”
