Lockton today announced the strengthening of its executive leadership team with the appointment of Nicholas (Nick) Lee as Chief Executive Officer and Siva Thangavelu as Chief Operating Officer.
These appointments mark an important milestone in Lockton’s continued investment in Malaysia and the broader Asia region. With decades of combined industry experience, both Nick and Siva bring deep market expertise, strong operational capabilities, and proven leadership in driving business growth and delivering client value.
Nick steps into the CEO role with a strong track record in strategic leadership, client advisory, and business expansion across Asia-Pacific. Siva, in his role as COO, brings extensive experience in operations, transformation, and governance across financial services and insurance markets.
“This leadership transition reinforces Lockton’s long-term commitment to Malaysia,” said Tony Hardy, CEO of Lockton Asia. “With Nick leading our growth agenda in Malaysia and Siva driving operational excellence, Lockton Sime is exceptionally well-positioned to deliver even stronger outcomes for organisations across Malaysia and Asia.”
As part of this transition, Mohamed Yahya Ibrahim has decided to step back from his role at Lockton Sime to focus on family and personal commitments. We thank Yahya for his contributions to Lockton Sime and to the insurance industry, and wish him all the very best for the future.
The company will continue to invest in its people, specialist capabilities, technology, analytics, and client solutions to meet the evolving needs of businesses in Malaysia. Lockton remains committed to helping organisations advance their risk, insurance, and people-solutions strategies with consistent, high-quality service and data-driven insights.
