AXIS Insurance expands cyber underwriting team

AXIS Capital Holdings subsidiary AXIS Insurance has hired Andrew Maher as senior cyber underwriter.

Maher will be based in London and will report to Dan Trueman, global head of cyber and technology at AXIS. He takes up the post effective immediately.

“Andy is a recognised expert in the cyber insurance market and has a strong reputation and key relationships with both brokers and clients,” said Trueman. “He is an important addition to our newly expanded global cyber and technology team and will help us to further enhance our reputation as one of the leading experts on cyber risk mitigation.”

Maher joins AXIS from Markel, where he spent two years as a senior cyber underwriter. He began his career at Beazley, where he held several underwriting roles, including working within the company’s information security and Beazley breach response teams.

Earlier in November, AXIS Insurance, has consolidated its global cyber and technology unit under the leadership of Trueman.
