Independent insurance broker Lockton has announced the arrival of Øyvind Larsen to lead its People Solutions business in Norway.
Based in Oslo, Larsen will also be joined by further senior hires, initiating a competitive new proposition for existing and prospective clients in the region.
Overall, Larsen brings more than 25 years of industry expertise towards his new role. He joins Lockton from Aon in Norway, where he most recently served as Head of Health & Benefits, where he played a key role in the management of the Norwegian business.
Moreover, Lockton’s Norwegian People Solutions team will also be strengthened by further senior hires in January. The new hires will join Larsen 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 broker’s 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 announcement marks the latest addition to Lockton’s leadership team based in the Nordics, as well as another step further in the continuous enhancement of Lockton’s offerings for clients across the region.
If you recall, in September, the broker extended its portfolio of risk advisory and insurance brokerage services in Norway to include Energy, Renewables and Property.
EJ Hentenaar, CEO of Lockton Europe, commented: “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.”
