CFC, a specialist insurance provider focused on emerging risks and cyber, has established a new US-based cyber development team and expanded its regional presence with the appointments of John Keebler and Morgan Justice.
CFC has named Keebler as its new National Cyber Development Leader. Based in Chicago, he will work closely with the company’s US and London cyber underwriting and distribution teams.
In this role, Keebler will oversee strategic cyber initiatives to help CFC’s broker partners generate profitable and sustainable income streams from new cyber buyers, while maintaining and strengthening key broker relationships.
He brings more than 15 years of experience in cyber insurance, joining CFC from Coalition, where he most recently served as Director, National US Business Development.
Prior to that, Keebler held underwriting roles at Argo Group, CNA Insurance, Endurance, and Starr.
Justice has been appointed Cyber Development Manager for the Western Region, USA. Based in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area, she will report to Keebler.
In her new role, Justice will focus on building new broker relationships and supporting CFC’s partners in the western region to grow their cyber portfolios.
With 15 years of cyber insurance experience, she brings valuable expertise in driving new business from her previous position as West Coast Underwriting and Business Development Leader at Coalition.
Before that, she was a Senior Underwriter at The Hartford and spent over seven years at Travelers, most recently as Account Executive.
Annie Lyons, CFC’s Cyber Development Manager based in New York, will also report to Keebler.
Lindsey Maher, Head of Global Cyber Development at CFC, commented, “Both John and Morgan bring an incredible amount of experience and maturity to these new roles and I’m confident that combining their skills with those that Annie has demonstrated over recent months will accelerate our growth ambitions in the US.
“The creation of our US-focused cyber development team demonstrates our commitment to providing a dedicated resource to help our brokers succeed. John, Morgan and Annie will act as CFC’s key decision makers on the ground to provide a fast turnaround as well as support the more complex deals and deliver on specific projects for our partners.
“More US brokers are building dedicated cyber placement strategies and CFC has the expertise, knowledge and innovative approach to be the local market of choice to help them grow sustainable, profitable business.”
