Discussing his new role, Breslin said, “What an exciting time to be joining the great growth story that is Lockton Re. I see this as an amazing opportunity to work with a variety of clients from globals, regionals and Lloyd’s Syndicates, taking my career to the next level and learning from a great group of colleagues.”

Tim Gardner, Global Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Lockton Re, added, “A key part of our growth and success has been the collaborative focus of our culture and our global build out. Lockton Re Capital Markets will very much follow this model as it will be fully aligned with the broking and analytics teams, offering clients a seamless experience.

“As we operate under a single P&L, our only priority is working with clients to identify the most appropriate sources of capacity and the optimal solutions. I’m excited to be welcoming Zach to the business and our global team. After a very successful year, we are clearly focused on our next phase of growth.”
