Ben Lemann
President, Small Business
My primary focus as the National Leader of Small Business Client Service is to ensure your experience with Gallagher is the best it can be. I work with great people every day who are dedicated to protecting your life’s work, which I find rewarding and especially inspiring. I keep my eye on all of our procedures and am continuously looking for ways to improve our service. My team proves to me that when you get the right people, with service in their hearts, you can achieve great things, have happy clients who remain loyal.

Loyalty is very big for me, which is probably why my favorite movie of all-time is Tombstone. I enjoy Italian food and listening to Chris Stapleton, but nothing compares to the time I get to spend with my kids.
