TORONTO, Oct. 20, 2026 /CNW/ -- Hub International Holdings, Inc. ("HUB"), a leading full-service global insurance broker and financial services firm, announced today two leadership appointments to its National Employee Benefits & Retirement (EB&R) team: Laura Liden as Vice President of Client Strategy, and Todd Peryk as National Leader and Vice President of Group Retirement. Both will report to Terri Botosan, President, Employee Benefits, Retirement and Life, HUB Canada.

The appointments underscore HUB Canada's continued investment in its Employee Benefits & Retirement practice, reinforcing the national team's ability to deliver strategic, client-focused support as advisors navigate an increasingly complex market.

"As HUB Canada continues to grow, our ability to serve clients well requires the right leadership in place across every line of business," said Tina Osen, President of HUB Canada. "These appointments reflect our continued investment in the Employee Benefits and Retirement space, as our clients look for more integrated support across benefits and retirement."

In her newly created role, Liden will draw on more than a decade of experience in employee benefits, workforce health and sales strategy to help advisors build stronger client programs and deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes across the country. She previously served as Employee Benefits Strategist on HUB's National EB&R team, where she supported significant new business wins and helped stabilize at-risk client relationships, work that laid the foundation for this next step. She will work with regional teams across Canada to develop programs and strategies that help advisors attract and retain clients.

Peryk steps into his newly created role with more than 28 years of experience across both the insurance carrier and advisor sides of the retirement industry. He previously served as Senior Vice President, Group Retirement, Individual Insurance & Wealth Management, leading distribution strategy for the Coastal Region across group retirement plan sponsors and individual insurance and wealth clients. That dual vantage point gives him a practical understanding of how the industry works from every angle, informing his approach to shaping national strategy for HUB's Group Retirement practice.  

"As the market continues to evolve, our ability to deliver real value to clients depends on the strength of our team and the advisors we develop for the future," said Terri Botosan, President, Employee Benefits, Retirement and Life, HUB Canada. "Laura and Todd each bring a different kind of expertise to that work, and together they'll help us sharpen our value proposition and build the next generation of talent our employee benefits and retirement clients will rely on."

Liden and Peryk will work with regional teams across Canada to advance HUB's national EB&R strategy.
