Lockton Pacific has announced recently appointed Jason Del Grande as the new risk management and employee benefits consultant.
He has joined the company in a bid to grow and accelerate its benefits and commercial insurance presence in the San Francisco Bay Area. His position took place on 18th September.
Del Grande will be working with employers seeking best-in-class health care benefits in order to improve workforce wellness, retain and compete for talent, and manage their bottom line more effectively.
Prior to joining Lockton, he served as Vice President for Hefferman Insurance Brokers. He plans to build upon previous client successes as a trusted advisor, help clients innovate and save money, and be a key driver for growth at Lockton.
Del Grande commented: “Middle market employers continue to grapple with limited access to claims data and analytics, leaving them paying higher premiums with no transparency in their benefits plans. Regardless of their size, we are able to provide claims transparency through our deep relationships with select carriers and through alternatives to the traditional market, then develop disease management and wellness strategies to help employers mitigate high claims and curb escalating health plan costs.
“Joining a broker with a global footprint that is uncommonly independent, client focused and committed to growth in Northern California is a tremendous opportunity for me to implement more creative, forward-thinking solutions to employers’ complex business issues.”
Phil Pierce, COO of Lockton Pacific North further added: “Jason’s energy and creativity will be a tremendous asset to us as we continue to build our presence and deepen our bench in the region. We are thrilled that a professional of Jason’s caliber who shares our core values, integrity and passion for client service is joining our team. Through his leadership and established relationships, he will fuel our business and shore up our long-term success in the region.”
