These appointments mark the latest additions to Lockton’s rapidly growing Nordic team as it continues to invest and expand its proposition to clients in the region. Starting this month, the team will be fully operational to service clients effective from 1st January 2024. Christen and Harry are industry veterans, and both join from Willis Towers Watson (WTW) in Norway, where they served as Global Client Directors focusing on property, major oil & gas and renewable energy firms, both onshore and offshore. Nikolai brings almost a decade of marine and energy expertise to Lockton, most recently as a broker and trainee lawyer at WTW. Sigbjørn joins from Bane NOR, Norway’s largest infrastructure owner, where he held the role of Head of Insurance. He began his career as an assistant underwriter at AIG in 2000, before joining Hydro Oil and Energy as its Insurance Manger. These series of hires mark the latest additions to Lockton’s rapidly expanding Nordic team, following the arrival of Øyvind Larsen earlier this month to lead the country’s People Solutions practice. Just last month, a further senior hire, Johan Frithioff, was announced for Lockton Sweden.  Lockton is dedicated to attracting market-leading talent as it continues to invest in its Associates in the region. Looking ahead, the company aims to welcome additional senior professionals, enhancing both depth and capabilities to better serve its clients in response to the evolving market landscape. EJ Hentenaar, CEO of Lockton Europe, said: "Lockton’s tremendous growth in the Nordic region, particularly over the last 24 months is an incredibly proud achievement for all our Associates. I am excited to welcome Christen, Harry, Nikolai and Sigbjørn to our Nordic team, they will bring deep rooted industry expertise to our Property, Energy and Renewables clients, and I look forward to seeing their leadership in driving great outcomes for our clients.”

Lockton builds Energy and P&C divisions with four senior hires in Norway

Lockton, the world’s largest independent insurance broker, has announced the arrival of Øyvind Larsen to lead its People Solutions business in Norway. Based in Oslo, Øyvind will be joined by further senior hires, establishing a competitive new proposition for existing and prospective clients in the region. Øyvind brings more than 25 years of experience to Lockton. He joins from Aon in Norway, where he was most recently Head of Health & Benefits, playing a key role in the management of the Norwegian business. Lockton’s Norwegian People Solutions team will be strengthened by further senior hires in January. The new hires will join Øyvind in senior capacities, providing further impetus to the team’s market-leading expertise in the region. Lockton’s People Solutions practice supports clients in the areas of employee experience & engagement, total rewards & benefits, and the measurement and management of these programs. The new People Solution team in Norway is bringing together unique competence and risk management expertise within specific investment areas such as employee risk benefits, pensions, employee communications and data analytics. This expansion demonstrates the continued focus on People Solutions by Lockton, adding to the rapid growth of the business globally and complements the already great businesses in the UK & Ireland. This announcement marks the latest addition to Lockton's leadership team based in the Nordics, and another step in the continuous enhancement of Lockton’s attractive offerings for clients in the region. In September, Lockton extended its portfolio of risk advisory and insurance brokerage services in Norway to include Energy, Renewables and Property, and in October a further senior hire was announced for Lockton Sweden. With further growth plans to new lines of business already underway, Lockton is committed to attracting and investing in top-tier, local talent as it forges ahead. Over the coming months, Lockton expects to bring onboard a succession of senior professionals to bolster its support for current clients and to cater to a robust pipeline of potential prospects. EJ Hentenaar, CEO of Lockton Europe, said: "Øyvind brings with him a wealth of experience, expertise and, crucially, stellar leadership skills which he has developed over a career spanning almost three decades. His and the wider team appointments are a testament to our commitment to our clients in the Nordic region. Our growing areas of specialism in Norway present an exciting career option for brokers seeking to work within an independent, ambitious, entrepreneurial environment. I look forward to our journey ahead as Lockton continues to attract top-calibre talent who provide exceptional service to clients.”
