The new practice integrates Marsh’s comprehensive cyber capabilities spanning insurance, risk intelligence, incident management, and cybersecurity on a global scale.
Scheduled for a formal launch on January 1, 2024, the Marsh Specialty global cyber practice will be under the leadership of Tom Reagan, who currently serves as the cyber practice leader for the US and Canada at Marsh Specialty.
Simultaneously, Meredith Schnur, the current cyber brokerage leader for the US and Canada, is set to take over the leadership of Marsh Specialty’s US and Canada Cyber Practice, succeeding Reagan from January 1. Schnur will continue to operate from New York.
In another strategic move, effective January 1, Greg Eskins, presently the cyber product leader for the US and Canada, will assume leadership of the new Global Cyber Insurance Center. This center will focus on the development and delivery of innovative cyber insurance solutions, addressing both current and emerging risk issues on a global scale. Eskins will be based in Miami.
Brian Warszona, who recently served as the deputy UK cyber practice leader, is slated to take charge of the new Global Cyber Digital Centre. This center will play a pivotal role in developing and deploying cutting-edge digital delivery tools and resources for clients. Warszona is relocating to Chicago from London.
The strategic appointments and the launch of dedicated centres underscore Marsh’s commitment to enhancing its global cybersecurity offerings and staying at the forefront of addressing evolving cyber risks. The move reflects the company’s dedication to providing innovative solutions that cater to the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity challenges faced by clients worldwide.
Pat Donnelly, president Marsh Specialty and Global Placement, said: “Cyber risk remains an urgent, ongoing, and constantly evolving challenge for organisations around the world. By bringing together Marsh’s full suite of market-leading cyber capabilities into one global specialty practice under Tom’s leadership, we will be even better positioned to help clients and communities manage their cyber risk and realise their possibilities in today’s digital economy. As the leading cyber insurance broker, we have an experienced and deep bench of talented cyber specialists ready to assume broader responsibilities.”
He added: “Meredith, Greg, and Brian are outstanding leaders with proven track records of delivering innovative cyber solutions and exceptional value to our clients.”
