Ed specialty leader becomes first female deputy chair of LIIBA

The London and International Insurance Brokers’ Association (LIIBA), the representative body for Lloyd’s brokers, has appointed three “exceptionally talented” representatives of brokers Aon, Ed and Marsh.

Ed Broking’s Heather Clarkson (pictured), Aon’s James Baum and Marsh Specialty UK’s Dominic Samengo-Turner have been named as deputy chairs of  LIIBA.

They join BMS’s Nick Cook, who was also elected deputy chair in 2019

Clarkson, Ed Broking’s executive director, specialty, has become the first woman to hold the deputy chair role at  LIIBA.

LIIBA's deputy chairs form the trade body’s executive committee, which is the primary source of counsel for both its chair and chief executive.

Alastair Swift, head of corporate risk and broking for global lines of business at WTW, as well as CEO of Willis, was elected chair in March.

Swift,  LIIBA's chair, said: “Heather, James and Dominic are three exceptionally talented and well-respected representatives of both global and wholesale brokers. They share a desire to promote the aims of our sector and to advocate for positive change. I’m delighted they’ve accepted these roles. Both individually and collectively, they are a tremendous asset to London’s broking community.”
