June 2 - (The Insurer) - Lockton's U.S. chief operating officer Said Taiym is stepping down from his role after seven years with the firm to take on a senior job outside of the insurance industry.
Lockton staff were notified of his departure last week.
Lockton declined to comment.
Taiym joined Lockton in 2018 as chief digital officer before taking on the COO role in May 2020. He has 24 years of experience in the industry. Before Lockton, he held roles at Accenture, Zurich, Axa XL and AF Group.
Taiym was deposed last week in Kansas City regarding a lawsuit filed by a former Lockton executive, who said she was wrongfully terminated after reporting persistent sexual harassment by Lockton Pacific Series executives Timothy Noonan and Mark Carlin.
Noonan was deposed in the same case on Monday, and Carlin is scheduled to be deposed on Friday.
