About Peter James

Pete takes an advisory approach to risk management and insurance best practices. He brings 19 years of industry experience and understands that no two clients are the same. It takes time, thoughtful questioning, and deep understanding of an insured’s unique strengths, goals, and challenges to develop, implement, and monitor a custom Property & Casualty program that meets the organization’s needs and helps achieve specific objectives in risk management. Prior to joining FNIA, Pete was a founding partner of Lockton Pittsburgh in 2019. His primary role was to attract and retain new mid-market clients; to lead and support associate team members; and make a difference in the global community by helping clients navigate complex risk management and employee benefit programs. Pete spent 13 years with Clements Worldwide, based in Washington DC with offices in London and Dubai, where he built a significant book of business and was a perennial top salesperson and thought leader in the brokerage. There he was a Senior Commercial Producer with a focus on specialty coverage for multinational corporations, NGO’s, UN Agencies, and State Dept. & DOD contractors in extreme risk countries. He routinely traveled throughout the developing world to visit clients and participated as a panelist and subject matter expert on global risk. Pete lives with his wife and son in Pittsburgh, in their hometown city neighborhood. They are active members of the community and appreciate giving back through various programs to help less fortunate families in the region. They enjoy spending time with friends and family and love to travel.
