San Diego-based broker Newfront Insurance has hired Stacey Lem as the Managing Account Executive for its Employee Benefits practice.
Lem has almost 30 years of experience in the carrier and brokerage sides of the industry, bringing a new perspective on the opportunities for innovation and leadership within the practice area.
He joins Newfront from Willis Towers Watson, where he held a similar position. Prior to Willis, Lem served as a Vice President at Lockton for six years, and as Vice President at Aon for 16 years.
Prior to his roles on the brokerage side, he spent seven years at Prudential.
Raphael Parker, Newfront’s Chief Growth Officer commented: “We are thrilled to welcome a proven leader and innovator like Stacey to our team.
“Stacey’s track record at the nation’s top brokerages speaks for itself, and we were particularly excited when we discovered our tight alignment on how to build a world-class experience for our clients.”
Lem added: “I’m excited to join a company with such an innovative, collaborative culture and one that is so open-minded about improving the customer experience.
“What struck me most about Newfront was the depth and diversity of thought on the team, the focus on giving our best to each other, and the ambition to become the best benefits brokerage of the 21st century. At Newfront, it’s not just talk but rather action, and I’m delighted to be a part of it.”
