Independent insurance broker Lockton has announced the appointment of Helene Fisher as managing director of US Market Engagement.
In her new role, Fisher will focus on deepening insurance carrier relationships and strengthening collaboration among Lockton’s regional teams, product lines and industry practices.
Leveraging data-driven insights and strong market relationships, she will help Lockton’s partners connect and grow more effectively by providing transparent performance tracking, strengthening market collaboration and driving tangible results.
Fisher, who is based in New York, will report to Vince Gaffigan, head of the U.S. market strategy and engagement group.
Fisher brings more than two decades of industry experience. Prior to joining Lockton, she served as managing director and director of insurance consulting at Marsh, where she was responsible for developing comprehensive, data-driven distribution strategies and improving customer value through strategic partnerships with the market.
Prior to that, she held various senior leadership roles at AIG, most recently as global head of commercial underwriting quality.
“Helen’s appointment is an important step toward further clarity and alignment across the market,” said Gaffigan. “Her background and leadership skills will enable us to deepen market engagement, increase transparency, and unlock growth opportunities that create measurable value for our customers, trading partners and internal stakeholders.”
“Lockton has a unique ability to work with market partners to create real, measurable value,” Fisher commented. “I’m excited to build on this advantage by partnering with Lockton to deliver strategies and solutions that help operators enhance connectivity, innovate and deliver differentiated value.”
Lockton established the U.S. Market Strategy and Engagement practice in May 2025 to strengthen relationships with trading partners, drive collaboration across the company, and expand the use of market intelligence to improve results.
