Lockton strengthens its commitment in Switzerland

Lockton is further expanding its presence in Switzerland with new offices in Zurich and Geneva. With the FINMA license granted at the beginning of October 2025, the world’s largest independent family-owned insurance broker is sending a strong signal for the Swiss business and moving even closer to Swiss and multinational companies.

The Swiss team led by Stephan Bachmann (CEO Lockton Switzerland GmbH) in Zurich and Romain Hémery (Head of French-speaking Switzerland, Geneva) combines over 45 years of consulting experience in complex insurance programs. Christian Leder and Michael Forster will strengthen the management team from the first quarter of 2026. Further personnel additions are planned to support the ambitious growth targets.

Tailor-made solutions for the Swiss market

Lockton Switzerland focuses on supporting large national and multinational companies in key sectors of the Swiss economy. The team uses Lockton’s global resources and international network to offer individual solutions with a local focus. The long-standing partnership with Funk remains a central component of the growth strategy and guarantees continuity with joint clients.

Global strength, local proximity

EJ Hentenaar, CEO Lockton Europe, points out the importance of the Swiss market as the home of many innovative companies. By expanding locally, Lockton can fulfill its service promise in an even more targeted manner and create added value for its customers. Stephan Bachmann concludes: “Combining global reach with Swiss precision is our way of creating measurable added value for our customers.”
