ACE Group has appointed Kyle Bryant as regional cyber manager for continental Europe, as it further invests in its cyber risk practice to meet evolving customer needs.
Bryant, previously assistant vice president at ACE USA, will have management responsibility for ACE’s growing cyber risk business across continental Europe.
He will focus on bringing together ACE’s international first and third-party expertise, underwriting capabilities, risk management and incident response services. The appointment follows the launch of ACE’s global cyber risk practice.
Working with Toby Merrill as head of the practice and his colleagues across ACE’s global network, Bryant will contribute to the development of the practice and execute its strategy, paying close attention to proposition development, underwriting strategy and market relationships locally.
Bryant will report to Grant Cairns, regional manager of financial lines for ACE in continental Europe and will work in close partnership with Gilbert Flepp, cyber risks manager (first party) for ACE in continental Europe.
His appointment was effective 1 August and he will initially be based in London.
Bryant has over eight years of insurance industry experience in underwriting, product management, claims and legal roles focused on technology and professional liability risks.
He joined ACE six years ago and, most recently, his responsibilities included regional manager for technology and professional liability in ACE’s US Mid-Atlantic region, where he oversaw a portfolio of professional liability, technology errors and omissions, data privacy and cyber insurance risks.
Previously, he was executive underwriter for technology and professional liability in ACE’s New York metropolitan region.
