Lloyd’s has announced the appointment of Dawn Miller (pictured above left) as chief commercial officer for Lloyd’s and CEO of Lloyd’s Americas. Miller will be based in New York. The appointment will take effect Sept. 1.
As chief commercial officer, Miller will continue to lead Lloyd’s commercial directorate and retain responsibility for the insurance marketplace’s global network. She will also remain a member of the executive committee, Lloyd’s said in a news release.
As CEO of Lloyd’sAmerica, Miller will drive strategic growth and lead the development of key relationships in the region. She will also be tasked with building greater alignment with Bermuda.
New president appointed
Lloyd’s has also announced the appointment of Mark Lipman (pictured above right) as president of Lloyd’s America, effective Sept. 1. Lipman will be based in Canada. He succeeds Hank Watkins, regional director and president of Lloyd’s Americas, who will be leaving the company at the end of the year.
Lipman joined Lloyd’s in 202 as attorney in fact and president of Lloyd’s Canada.
“The Americas represents over 60% of our market’s total premium and as we look to increase our presence, it is vital that we have the right people on the ground to deliver our ambitions,” said John Neal, CEO of Lloyd’s. “The appointment of Dawn and Marc to their new roles will strengthen our position to offer current and new stakeholders the best underwriting and investment platform in the world. I would also like to thank Hank for his valuable work over the last 15 years at Lloyd’s.”
“As we look at how our commercial strategy can support the market’s profitable growth over the next two years, these changes to the way we’re structured in the Americas allow us to broaden the scope of our offering,” Miller said. “We will be able to provide greater support to our large network of stakeholders and market participants based on the region and drive forward our global distribution strategy.”
Lloyd’s recently announced a collaboration with the United Nations Capital Development Fund and the Sustainable Markets Initiative to provide parametric insurance training in vulnerable nations. The company also recently revealed an initiative to support economic resilience in Sierra Leone.
