Kansas City-based Lockton has added Paul Rodriguez as the leader of its National Surety Practice.

Rodriguez succeeds Patrick Pribyl who took the role in 2020. Pribyl will transition to the role of Chairman of the National Surety Practice, according to a release Tuesday. As Chairman, Pribyl will serve as an advisor to Rodriguez and the broader practice while engaging with clients and partners.

Rodriguez first joined Lockton in 2022 as the National Surety Growth Leader, where he helped expand the firm’s presence across the U.S. and strengthened partnerships with leading construction, infrastructure, and Fortune 1000 companies.

Before joining Lockton, Rodriguez served at Aon in the greater Los Angeles area for 18 years. At Aon he held multiple key leadership roles, most recently serving as the regional managing director. He also held other titles including West Region Surety and Performance Security Leader and the West Region Construction Services Group and Risk and Performance Security Leader, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Rodriguez will be supported by Lockton’s regional leadership team which includes Janina Monroe (West), Evan Sizemore (Central) and Doug Irvin (East).

Last week, Lockton announced it had appointed Tim Meacham as president of People Solutions. Also, in December, the company announced the launch of its new Global Parametric Insurance Practice.

Lockton has over 12,500 associates in more than 140 countries who focus on clients’ risk, insurance and people needs.
