Insurance Broker Lockton Opens New Orleans Area Office

Global insurance broker Lockton Companies has opened an office in the greater New Orleans area, headed by Tim Woodard, JD.

Danelle Heathman has been appointed as a senior vice president and Cheryl Cabrera will serve as a senior account manager.

Heathman and Cabrera joined Lockton from a New Orleans broker where Cabrera was an assistant vice president and Heathman served as a senior vice president and the marine practice leader.

Woodard has relocated from Lockton’s Houston office. He holds business and legal degrees from LSU and served as a member of a New Orleans law firm where he practiced marine and insurance law.

Although the office will service clients in a diverse range of industries, Woodard, Heathman and Cabrera have over 73 years of collective experience in the marine and energy industries. According to the Grow Louisiana Coalition, the energy industry supports more than half a billion dollars in annual wages in the greater New Orleans area alone.

The office will also work closely with Lockton’s global marine and energy practice. The practice includes over 100 industry specialists in Texas and 60 in London and PL Ferrari, the world’s largest P&I specialty broker.
