Lockton, the world’s largest privately held, independent insurance brokerage, today announced the appointment of Helene Fisher as Managing Director, U.S. Market Engagement. This strategic addition reflects Lockton’s commitment to strengthening market relationships, driving innovation, and delivering measurable outcomes for clients and partners.
Helene will focus on enhancing Lockton’s insurer relationships and strengthening collaboration among Lockton’s regional teams, product lines, and industry practices. Through data-driven insights and strong market relationships, she will help Lockton’s partners connect and grow more efficiently — delivering transparent performance tracking, strengthening market collaboration, and driving tangible outcomes.
“Helene’s appointment is an important step in creating additional clarity and alignment across the market,” said Vince Gaffigan, U.S. Market Strategy and Engagement Group Leader. “Her background and leadership skills will enable us to deepen market engagement, enhance transparency, and unlock growth opportunities that create measurable value for our clients, trading partners and internal stakeholders.”
Fisher’s extensive experience includes senior leadership roles at Marsh, AIG, and ACE USA. Most recently, she served as Marsh’s Managing Director, Insurer Consulting Leader, where she was responsible for developing comprehensive, data-driven distribution strategies and enhancing client value through strategic engagement with the marketplace. Prior to joining Marsh, she spent 17 years with AIG, where she ultimately served as Global Head of Commercial Underwriting Quality. Fisher holds a Juris Doctorate from Brooklyn Law School and is licensed to practice law in the State of New York. Across the insurance industry, she is respected as a trusted leader and advisor with excellent communication skills and a demonstrated track record of global expertise in strategic implementation.
“Lockton has a unique ability to collaborate with market partners in ways that create real, measurable value,” said Fisher. “I’m excited to build on that strength by introducing strategies and solutions that help carriers enhance connectivity, innovate, and deliver differentiated value in partnership with Lockton."
Lockton established its U.S. Market Strategy & Engagement Practice in May 2025 to enhance Lockton's deep relationships with its trading partners, drive collaboration across the firm, and advance the use of market intelligence to advance outcomes.
In her new role, Fisher will report to Gaffigan and will be based in New York City.
