Willis, a WTW business, has appointed Cecelia Lockner as Senior Director, Strategic Client Advisor within the North American Alternative Asset Insurance Solutions (AAIS) division.
The appointment aligns with Willis’ strategy to provide insurance solutions grounded in deep industry expertise with a focus on client outcomes.
Lockner brings over 15 years of experience advising private equity, hedge fund and corporate clients across all insurance coverages.
Combined with her litigation background, Lockner’s dual perspective uniquely positions her to guide clients through every stage of the insurance process, from the creation of a policy contract and structuring of the insurance programme to resolving sophisticated claim outcomes, says the broker.
Most recently, she served at Goodwin Procter LLP as a Partner in the Complex Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice. Earlier in her career, Lockner worked at a brokerage firm where she specialised in placing complex representation and warranty insurance programmes.
Aartie Manansingh, Head of Alternative Asset Insurance Solutions, commented on the appointment, “Cecelia’s arrival represents a major milestone in our ability to deliver for clients in an increasingly complex and fast-moving deal environment.
“She brings not only exceptional technical expertise, but also the kind of differentiated claims and negotiation expertise that sets our team apart. More importantly, Cecelia is a genuinely thoughtful, solutions-oriented and collaborative person — another example of how Willis continues to invest in colleagues that elevate our capabilities and our culture.”
This month, Willis also appointed Adrian Cousins as Head of London Market Claims.
