Lockton, the world’s largest privately held and independent insurance brokerage, announced today the appointment of Brett Gillmon as U.S. Property Practice Leader. In this role, Gillmon will oversee the strategic direction and continued growth of Lockton’s property offerings across the U.S.
“Brett is exceptionally well suited for this role,” said Devin Beresheim, Lockton’s U.S. Risk Solutions Leader. “He is an immensely respected leader in the property market, and a highly regarded technical and strategic partner to our Associates and clients. I know he will do an outstanding job helping shape the next iteration of Lockton’s U.S. Property Practice.”
Gillmon brings nearly 30 years of experience to the role. He joined Lockton in 2017 as the Property Practice Leader for the Southeast region, supporting offices in Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Miami, Pembroke Pines, and Tampa. In that position, he oversaw the strategic placement and servicing of property and construction risks for some of Lockton’s most complex property clients nationwide.
Prior to joining Lockton, Gillmon spent more than 20 years at Marsh, most recently serving as Managing Director in its U.S. Property Practice. Throughout his career, he has focused primarily on global property and builders' risk, supporting major U.S.-based clients and holding positions in Dubai, London, New York, and Atlanta.
“I’m excited to take on this new opportunity at a company I already know so well,” said Gillmon. “The talent, expertise, and client-focus here are unmatched, and I look forward to helping take our capabilities to the next level.”
Gillmon will be based in Atlanta and will report to Beresheim.
