Lockton Re lands Aon Securities leader to help fix ‘last piece of the puzzle’

Lockton Re, the global reinsurance business of broker Lockton, has tapped a Aon Securities managing director to help build out its capital markets capability together with Robert Bisset.

Zach Breslin has joined  Lockton Re as the leader of Lockton Re Capital Markets.

Breslin was most recently managing director of Aon Securities in New York, and prior to that, spent time at Berkley Offshore on the underwriting side giving him a great 360 view of the market.

“The build out of our Capital Markets capability is the last piece of the puzzle in terms of my remit,” said Bisset, who is the chairman of global retrocession & property specialty, Bermuda & Market Capital at  Lockton Re. “I’m so excited to have Zach spearheading this important area as we continue to garner great support from clients and markets across the reinsurance world.”

“I have now been at  Lockton Re for a year and the growth and success we have seen during that time has been phenomenal,” Bisset added.

Breslin commented: “What an exciting time to be joining the great growth story that is  Lockton Re”, commented Zach, “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 CEO of  Lockton Re, said: “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.”
