Lloyd’s Names James To Head New Worldwide Markets Division

Lloyd’s has named Julian T. James, currently managing director of its North American Unit, to assume the new position of director for Worldwide Markets, a division which will unite Lloyd’s operations in the U.S., Canada and certain international sectors.

For the last three years James has overseen Lloyd’s efforts in the North American market, which now accounts for over one third of its business. He has “successfully led a campaign to educate those in the U.S. market about Lloyds’s and establish relationships with key insurance regulators, risk managers, brokers and professional associations,” said the announcement.

“The Worldwide Markets division will be responsible for developing and enhancing Lloyd’s worldwide trading licenses and opening up the market to new brokers.”
