Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM) has appointed Peng Lim (pictured above) as head of aviation claims, a newly created role.
Lim, who will relocate to London when she takes up the role in November, is currently global head of aviation at international law firm Kennedys, based in Singapore. She joined Kennedys in 2014 from Clyde & Co., another major international law firm.
As head of aviation claims, Lim’s primary responsibilities will be to lead LSM’s claims proposition for aviation and support the growth of the insurer’s aviation book. She will report to Mike Gillett, LSM’s chief claims officer.
“We are delighted that Peng is joining Liberty. She’s been a leading partner at Kennedys for many years and will relocate to London to join us,” Gillett said. “As an extremely high-profile figure within our industry, she brings unrivalled knowledge of the sector – knowledge that will benefit our clients not only at the point of claim but throughout their relationship with LSM. Her appointment once again shows our commitment to hire exceptional talent to support the ambition of LSM and our clients.”
“Peng is a terrific addition to LSM’s team,” said Meghan Walker, LSM head of aviation. “Her market-leading knowledge, experience and relationships all demonstrate our continued commitment to bring top talent and solutions to our clients and brokers. From policy production to claims advisory and settlement, Peng’s appointment shows LSM’s firm focus on leading in the market.”
