Jake Byrne Named U.S. Marine Risks & Liability Practice Leader at Lockton

Lockton appointed Jake Byrne as its U.S. Marine Risks & Liability Practice Leader. Byrne joined the privately held insurance brokerage in 2020, serving in a dual role for its Global Marine Practice and as a representative of Lockton P.L. Ferrari.

“Jake’s careful and capable leadership of marine client relationships has been exceptional, and I know he will continue to drive positive client outcomes in this new role,” said Robert Bobo, chief operating officer for Lockton’s regional office in Texas.

Before Lockton, Byrne worked at Aon for almost nine years, focusing on the insurance needs of complex international marine accounts. In his new position, he will drive strategy, enhance client service, and expand Lockton’s presence within the industry throughout the U.S. Byrne, who is based in Tampa, Florida, replaces Jana Byron, who passed away unexpectedly in August. &
