Global re/insurance broker  Lockton has swooped for senior Aon executives to develop innovative solutions and lead the growth of its life sciences practice.

Brad Zechman and David Salvucci will join Lockton as co-leaders of its life sciences practice. Both will be based in Philadelphia.

Zechman and Salvucci bring decades of life sciences experience to their new roles. Together, they will share strategic responsibility for the practice and bring innovative tools, strategic advice and customised risk solutions for companies in the life sciences ecosystem.

Zechman joins Lockton from Aon, where he led many of the company's largest and most complex Life Sciences client relationships.

Salvucci also joins Lockton from Aon, where he spent 17 years managing client relationships, leading brokerage teams, and designing innovative property and casualty programs for global, mid-market and emerging-growth life sciences organisations.

"Lockton's success has always been based on developing innovative solutions for our clients in nuanced industries," said Zechman. "We're excited to lead this practice, which will act as an extension of our clients' teams as we help them address today's risks and deliver proactive advice for what comes next."

"Among Life Sciences companies and underwriters, Lockton has a reputation for independence and creativity," Salvucci added. "Brad and I look forward to working together to lead the Life Science Practice and help our clients achieve their objectives."
