Broker snaps up ex-SRG c-suite for senior role

(Re)insurance broker Miller has appointed Clare Lebecq as its new chief operating officer following her departure from Specialist Risk Group (SRG).

In her new role, Lebecq will use her retail and wholesale expertise to support Miller’s operational capabilities.

She will join the firm on 2 December 2024.

The appointee said: “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.”

Experience

Lebecq joined SRG in 2021 and spent three years working as chief operating officer.

In a statement sent to Insurance Times on 17 September 2024, SRG said that Lebecq had decided to exit the business as she wanted to “move onto fresh challenges”.

Before joining the broker, she spent seven years working as the director of operations at JLT.

James Hands, chief executive at Miller, said Lebecq “will be instrumental in ensuring our operational capabilities allow us to continue delivering the highest quality client service”.

He added: “Attracting a leader of Lebecq’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.”
