OSLO, 27 January 2026 - Lockton Norway is strengthening its strategic position in an evolving market by hiring Sjur Hille Olsen as Head of Strategic Growth & Emerging Opportunities.
The role, which is effective immediately, has been created to ensure that Lockton proactively identifies, develops, and capitalizes on new and fast‑growing market segments and industry verticals, supporting continued expansion across its business areas.
As the world’s largest independent insurance broker, and with a growing presence in Norway, Lockton continues to experience increased demand for forward‑looking advisory services and innovative solutions. Sjur will play a key role in advancing Lockton’s ability to meet these expectations, strengthening both local and international growth initiatives.
Sjur will be based in Oslo and joins from Aon, where he held several senior leadership roles over the past 14 years, most recently as Head of Commercial Risk Solutions. He holds a master’s degrees in law (Cand.jur.), business & economics (siviløkonom), and taxation.
Øyvind Larsen, CEO of Lockton Norway said: “Norway is actively diversifying its economy beyond traditional oil and gas, focusing heavily on sustainability, technology, and ocean-based industries, with key emerging sectors poised to drive growth through 2030. To ensure we remain ahead of these shifts, we are establishing a dedicated leadership role focused on strategic growth and new opportunities.
“This is a natural next step in our long‑term growth strategy. We are investing in the future to ensure that Lockton continues to deliver value, challenge industry norms, and identify the opportunities that matter most for our clients,”
