Lloyd’s of London Broker Fires Manager Who Sent Harassing Email

A top Lloyd’s of London insurance brokerage, Guy Carpenter & Co., fired a senior vice president for sending a sexually explicit email about a female colleague, one of the first dismissals to come to light since the industry began cracking down on such behavior early this year.

The firm also disciplined two other people over the electronic message, which the male executive sent to multiple team members in June offering them birthday donuts, before adding that a named female colleague “enjoys a glazed ring,” according to people with knowledge of the decision. Bloomberg reported at the time that the executive, and another man who forwarded the email to people outside the company, had been suspended pending an investigation.
