Michele Centeno joined Lockton in January 2021 as a leader in management liability and a strategic advisor for large complex property and casualty clients. She has serviced the Fortune 100-1000 as an underwriter and broker throughout her career, advising prestigious name-brand customers.
Prior to Lockton, Michele spent six years with Arthur J Gallagher & Co as managing director of large risk management clients for the region and a top 25 producer annually. She was a contributor to the growth of the region and the training and development of the staff. Earlier in her career, she had the following accomplishments: led Crystal & Co’s growth initiative for risk management clients; Beecher Carlson practice leader for management liability and top 20 producer; Marsh FINPRO practice leader; and underwriter in NYC for AIG, CNA, and Travelers.
Due to her professional achievements, Michele was recognized as a Power Broker in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2022. John Couri, manager of risk and insurance at Henry Crown and Company/CC Industries, has described Michele in a Power Broker recommendation as “hardworking, dependable and an impressive problem solver who is able to address complex issues strategically [and] inspired by challenges and never intimidated by them … Along with her undeniable talent, Michele has always been a true team player who fosters positive discussions, brings the best out of others, and consistently adds value to the organization.”
Michele was on the board of Catholic Charities in Atlanta, GA. She was chair of the Women in Leadership initiative for the Urban Land Institute and was awarded as one of the Distinguished Alumni at Kean University. She also attended an Executive Leadership Training program at Eckard College.
