Beazley announces creation of new Cyber Services Manager role in France

Specialist insurer Beazley has appointed Jad Nehme as Cyber Services Manager within its Breach Response Services unit. Jad is based in Beazley’s Paris office. He assists Beazley’s clients with cyber risk management as well as loss control and supports them in cyber security and data breach investigations.

Beazley is a market leader in cyber insurance through its product Beazley Breach Response (BBR) that was launched in 2009. The pre and post loss services that BBR’s reputation has been built upon continue to develop, and are increasingly important in the face of rising global cyber threats and severity of attacks.

Jad Nehme joined Beazley after 6 years at KPMG and Alcatel-Lucent where he gained a broad range of experience with both technical and organisational cyber security engagements. Jad holds a master of engineering in network and security from Telecom ParisTech as well as a master of engineering in telecommunication and computer systems from the Lebanese University. He is fluent in French, English and Arabic. 

Raf Sanchez, Global Head of Cyber Services at Beazley’s said: “This is a critical time for cyber risk; with an increasingly distributed workforce, well-funded and innovative adversaries and the challenge of fending off a barrage of constant attacks: there has never been a more important time to help clients to improve their resilience and to be better prepared to respond. Our experience across tens of thousands of incidents of all types and severities in a multitude of territories means that we can provide unique insights and expertise to our clients.”

Luc Vignancour, international cyber underwriter, added: « Jad’s arrival at Beazley strengthens our presence in France and our ability to serve our cyber clients at a time, said post-covid, when our clients need our support more than ever, either when an incident occurs either before it happens through prevention services.”
