Bailey, managing director of cyber, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chris as head of our London cyber team at this exciting and critical time. We formed an all-new underwriting division earlier this year and have very recently launched our new product Cyber 360 and so his appointment reinforces both our continued growth and our ambition in this space,”
