Lockton hires new US Risk Solutions Leader

In April 2025, Lockton appointed Devin Beresheim as US Risk Solutions Leader — a role that brings together the firm’s Property & Casualty and Professional and Executive Risk practices under unified leadership. Beresheim will report to Lockton US President, Tim Ryan.

Since joining Lockton in 2019 as Specialties Leader, Beresheim has been instrumental in transforming the firm’s specialty practices.

Lockton unveils new global parametric insurance practice

In December 2024, Lockton launched its new Global Parametric Insurance Practice. This initiative brings together a team of experts, including data scientists and modelers, dedicated to developing efficient, customised parametric solutions to help clients protect against risks that traditional insurance often overlooks.
As natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires increase in frequency and severity, and as new risks arise, including cyber threats and supply chain disruptions, the need for supplementary insurance solutions is growing. The parametric insurance market is projected to reach $39.3 billion by 2032, according to Global Market Insights, underscoring the demand for alternative solutions to cover gaps in conventional commercial property insurance.
Parametric insurance policies provide payouts based on specific event triggers, such as storm magnitude, rainfall levels, or earthquake intensity in a defined location, which may not necessarily sustain physical damage. These policies offer clear transparency and quick payouts, often processed within days of an event, potentially enabling businesses to resume operations with reduced disruption.
Lockton’s Parametric Insurance Practice, with expertise across multiple regions, will guide businesses through comprehensive risk assessments, leveraging data scientists and advanced analytics to identify triggers that can address potential losses. This tailored approach provides a valuable complement to traditional insurance policies, filling coverage gaps with a cost-effective solution where it’s most needed.
