Clare Lebecq (pictured), the former chief executive of the London Market Group (LMG) who most recently served as group chief operating officer at Specialist Risk Group (SRG), is moving to independent (re)insurance broker Miller on December 2.
Appointed as COO, Lebecq will bring more than three 30 years of industry experience to Miller. At SRG, she managed the company’s operational functions, including IT transformation, compliance, and risk management.
As LMG CEO, she pushed for regulatory reforms and assisted the industry through post-Brexit trade agreements with UK regulators and HM Treasury. In addition, Lebecq previously held senior positions with brokers like JLT and Guy Carpenter where she successfully led various transformation initiatives.
At Miller, Lebecq will focus on enhancing operational efficiency and supporting the company’s growth, leveraging her expertise in the retail and wholesale markets.
“As we continue to scale our business and expand our footprint both in the UK and internationally, Clare will be instrumental in ensuring our operational capabilities allow us to continue delivering the highest quality client service,” said Miller chief executive James Hands.
“Attracting a leader of Clare’s calibre is testament to Miller’s reputation in the market, and what we have achieved in the last few years since returning to independence. I very much look forward to working together as we continue to expand the business and double down on our ambitious growth plans.”
Lebecq echoed the above, noting: “Miller has a uniquely attractive proposition, thanks to its independence, specialism, and increasing international scale. Coupled with their entrepreneurial culture and unrivalled focus on client service, I am excited to join the team and be part of their continued growth trajectory.”
Across its UK and international operations, Miller employs more than 900 people.
