Building Relationshi...
For Jess Bass Bolander, life is about building relationships—whether personally or professionally—to create something bigger. Prior to joining Lockton, Jess worked as a group representative at a healthcare carrier. Despite working with several larger brokers in the region, she always loved the energy, culture, and people at Lockton. She felt that no one fought harder for clients than Lockton, and unlike the revolving door of brokers at other firms, Lockton had great tenure within its teams. One day, Steve Idoux reached out to Jess and told her that many people already thought of her as their broker, not just a representative for the carrier. This was a turning point for Jess. "He helped me realize that I can build a career at Lockton," Jess recounts. She decided she wanted to join a place that takes care of people, values culture, and fights for clients. That’s why she chose Lockton. Jess started her journey at Lockton in a Producer Resource Group. She spent five years learning from others, understanding the business and how Lockton operates before moving into a Producer role. During this time, she developed her niche and realized that she could expand her network through her involvement in local organizations throughout the Dallas community. Jess has consistently been an active member within the City of Dallas. Her passions revolve around lifting others in the workforce—particularly focusing on women, the Latino community, and children. Jess is currently a board member of multiple organizations in the Dallas area, including the Dallas CFO Leadership Council, The Family Place, and Asociación de Empresarios Mexicanos en EE UU. She is an advocate for Lockton partnering with Cristo Rey College Prep in Dallas, TX, to help be an intern source for the students’ coursework during their high school studies. She guest teaches at local colleges, educating students on insurance and employee benefits, and sharing tips for entering the workforce in a corporate environment. "As the granddaughter of immigrants on both sides, community is very important to me. I feel so lucky that Lockton encourages Producers and Associates to give back to their communities," said Jess. "I’ve also seen how it can strengthen internal relationships. Some of my favorite memories and personal connections have been made at Lockton Cares community events with my colleagues." In April 2025, Jess was named the recipient of the Producer Community Impact Award. Each year, the Lockton family honors a Producer who goes above and beyond serving the community with a $50,000 donation to the organization of their choice. "I was so completely humbled that I won. It was an honor to be nominated amongst such an impressive group of producers, and I’m so grateful that Lockton values the work we do in Dallas," said Jess. She chose The Family Place, an organization dedicated to ending domestic violence, as the recipient of the $50,000 donation. "I joined the board of The Family Place a little over two years ago, and it’s been amazing," said Jess. "I had a tumultuous childhood, and I’m passionate about breaking the cycle of emotional and physical abuse. The Family Place offers critical housing, educational programming, and mental health services that help to build an emotionally healed community." For Jess, this recognition is about more than her—it’s a testament to Lockton as a whole. "This award is an example of our caring culture and dedication to positively impacting the communities where we do business. I serve on multiple boards and have chaired many events benefiting the Dallas community. However, I am not alone. When you look at the Associates and Producers around the country at Lockton, so many of us are making contributions to our communities. We don’t do anything small at Lockton." "The energy is different at Lockton—our Associates deeply care about making a difference and lifting each other up." Jess continues to make an impact – on her clients, coworkers and community – one relationship at a time. Click here to learn more about The Family Place.

My career, my story:...
In the competitive world of risk management, Blake DeNoyer has quickly become a standout performer at Lockton, recently earning the Risk & Insurance Power Broker Award just four years into his insurance career. Blake, a Producer based in Fort Worth, Texas, leads Lockton's Rail Advisory Group, specializing in crafting complex risk management solutions for the rail industry. What makes his story unique is not just the award, but the path that led him here. "What initially drew me to Lockton was the distinct contrast it presented to my previous experiences," Blake explains. Unlike traditional corporate environments, Lockton offered something different: a well-established firm with a flat hierarchy that empowers its professionals to truly own their work. At Lockton, Blake discovered a workplace unlike any other. "You're essentially running your own business under the Lockton umbrella," he says. "You have full autonomy as to how you allocate your time and what business you chase, all while having the full support, mentorship, and resources of a Top 10 firm." This freedom, coupled with robust support, has been key to his rapid professional growth. Winning the Power Broker Award is no small achievement. For Blake, it is a validation of his dedication and commitment to delivering results. "Coming from outside of the insurance industry, I felt as if I needed to prove I could learn the complexities of risk management, provide value to clients, and ultimately enhance Lockton's position in the rail sector. This award helps provide some validation towards those efforts." he reflects. "What sets Lockton apart is our commitment to Producer success," Blake emphasizes. "Management consistently demonstrates a willingness to invest in my business and the strategic talent necessary to elevate the rail practice. We also get the opportunity to work with professional coaches and psychologists to develop an 'Elite Producer' mindset that allows us to lead teams and develop business at the highest level possible." Blake believes that culture is the driving factor behind Lockton’s success. "The camaraderie here is remarkable," he shares. "Everyone is genuinely invested in each other's success." It is this sense of community, combined with professional growth opportunities, which transforms a job into a career at Lockton.

Making an impact: Di...
Diana Tacuba’s heart has always been with those whose voices are often unheard, especially young girls facing unimaginable challenges. That is why she chose Fundación Dar y Amar Daya as the recipient of her Community Impact Award donation. The Mexico-based nonprofit provides a safe haven for girls and young women who have survived abuse and violence in their homes or communities. Beyond shelter, Daya offers emotional support, legal guidance, education, and skill-building so these young women can reclaim their futures. When she learned she had received the Community Impact Award, Diana felt immense gratitude—not just for the recognition, but for the opportunity to shine a light on Daya. Each year, the Lockton family honors Associates who go above and beyond to serve their communities with a $25,000 donation to the organization of their choice. Diana embodies the dedication and compassion the Community Impact Award represents. “This award is not only mine,” she says. “It belongs to all of Lockton Mexico. None of this would be possible without the dedication of my colleagues who support both our clients, and our community every day.” “As a woman, I deeply relate to Daya’s mission,” Diana says. “Without this support, many of these girls would be facing lives on the streets, trapped in cycles of abuse or addiction. Daya gives them a chance.” Through her volunteer work, Diana has gotten to know the girls and their stories firsthand. The experience left a lasting impression. “It’s painful to see the reality they face,” she says. “There is still much to do for our nearby communities and small actions can make a big change.” Diana has already shared her professional expertise with the girls of Daya by leading financial literacy workshops. Looking ahead, she hopes to build even deeper connections between Lockton and the organization. “We need to keep listening to what the girls need and find ways to implement more actions so we can continue to contribute at Lockton,” she explains. She credits Lockton’s people-first culture for enabling her to pursue this passion. “Lockton makes you feel seen and valuable.” Having started her career as an intern, Diana has grown alongside the company. “It is hard not to fall in love with Lockton. It has an exciting culture, a very strong identity, versatile and dynamic work teams, and above all, it is a company with a vision beyond just doing business, Lockton is made by its people.”
