Global advisory, broking and solutions company WTW announced the appointment of Danielle Lombardo as chair, Real Estate, Hospitality and Leisure (REHL) division, Corporate Risk and Broking (CRB) North America.
Lombardo has more than 15 years of experience in the insurance industry, focused exclusively on real estate. She has honed her experience as an innovator who challenges the status quo, ready to respond to the myriad of insurance and risk management challenges facing real estate owners today.
Clients value Lombardo’s ability to align critical components of the real estate industry with risk management, insurance and communication strategies.
“After years of volatility in the property insurance market coupled with a very challenging real estate market, property owners are begging for solutions to keep current deals afloat and manage long-term premium volatility,” Lombardo said. “We are at an inflection point in the real estate and insurance markets where we need to turn the typical insurance process on its side and find solutions to keep transactions moving efficiently and protect net operating income.”
In addition to driving client solutions, Lombardo will focus on driving initiatives to automate workflow and provide the technology, analytics and support needed to provide white-glove service to the fast-paced real estate business.
“Danielle brings a specialized expertise that perfectly aligns with the industry focused approach within CRB NA,” said Michael Chang, WTW’s head of Corporate Risk and Broking in North America. “Her leadership and technical experience will position her to bring new thinking, strategic ideas and new products to REHL clients.”
