New chief operating officer at Miller

Clare Lebecq has been appointed as chief operating officer of specialist (re)insurance broker Miller. According to the broker, in her new role, she will bring her wealth of experience across both retail and wholesale to support Miller’s growing operational capabilities. She will join Miller on 2 December 2024.

Lebecq brings over three decades of experience in the London insurance market, most recently at Specialist Risk Group (SRG) where she was group chief operating officer, overseeing all operational aspects of the company, including IT transformation, compliance, and risk management.

Prior to joining SRG, Lebecq served as the CEO of the London Market Group, where she played a pivotal role in advocating for regulatory changes and helping to navigate post-Brexit trade agreements with HM Treasury and UK regulators. She has also held senior positions at brokers including JLT and Guy Carpenter.

James Hands, CEO, Miller, said: “As we continue to scale our business and expand our footprint both in the UK and internationally, Clare will be instrumental in ensuring our operational capabilities allow us to continue delivering the highest-quality client service. Attracting a leader of Clare’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.”

Lebecq added: “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.”
