Lockton announced it has established a new Digital Office to drive innovation in data, analytics, and technology strategies across the company in addition to naming the office’s new leader.

The Digital Office initiative aims to elevate digital and data capabilities. Claude Yoder, who has served as Lockton Re’s Global Analytics Leader since 2019, has been named chief data, analytics and digital officer, according to a release.

“Lockton’s commitment to digital excellence underscores its dedication to staying ahead of industry trends and meeting the evolving needs of our clients. With the establishment of the Digital Office, Lockton is poised to set new standards in the insurance brokerage industry, ensuring sustained growth and success in the digital age,” Yoder said in the release.

The Digital Office will accelerate digital transformation and growth while leveraging cutting-edge technologies and data-driven insights to enhance client value, drive operational efficiencies and strategic decision-making.

“This move, along with our commitment to investing in a digital office, underscores the importance of digital, data and analytics to Lockton’s global strategy,” Chairman and CEO, Ron Lockton, said in the release. “We are dedicated to providing our clients with valuable insights and unparalleled service driven by leading edge, digital data, and analytic tools.”

Lockton has announced several new leadership appointments to its department this month. Last week the company added Paul Rodriguez as the leader of its National Surety Practice. Earlier in February, Lockton also appointed Tim Meacham to the role of president of People Solutions.
