XL Catlin has appointed former
QBE executive James Tuplin as its new head of cyber & technology, media and telecoms (TMT), international.
Based in London, Tuplin will be responsible for the underwriting of cyber insurance, along with professional indemnity for the technology and media sectors.
“I am convinced that he has the right skillset to lead our international underwriting efforts successfully for these high profile and complex insurance solutions,” she said.
The company noted that, according to PwC, the cyber insurance market is a key area of development since it is set to reach US$7.5 billion by 2020.
“There is a clear requirement for cyber coverage among clients and we are delighted that James has joined us,” Dennerståhl said.
With nearly 15 years of industry experience, Tuplin joins from QBE where he spent three years as cyber & TMT portfolio manager, with responsibility for growing the cyber portfolio in Europe.
Before that, Tuplin was senior technology PI and cyber underwriter at
Allianz. He also spent 10 years at
Zurich Global Corporate, where he held various underwriting positions specialising in errors & omissions and professional indemnity insurance, in the UK and Canada.
