Cyber insurer Corvus Insurance has hired Joe Duplock to be its new manager of underwriting.
Duplock made the announcement on LinkedIn, saying that he had begun working for the firm this month. He is based in London. Prior to moving to Corvus Insurance, Duplock spent nearly four years at AXA XL, where he was a cyber and tech underwriter. He also spent over seven years at CFC Underwriting.
Corvus Insurance is based in Boston, US. It also has American offices in New York and Atlanta, along with its new facility in Frankfurt, Germany.
The firm more recently announced a cyber partnership with Travelers Companies. That deal, we reported at the beginning of November, is set to last over multiple years and will see the venture provide cyber insurance products and services to companies in continental Europe, focusing primarily on Germany and Austria.
Subject to regulatory approval, the European expansion of Corvus’s Smart Cyber Insurance offering will initially be geared toward small- and medium-size enterprises and middle market businesses with annual revenues up to €1bn, the firm noted.
The firm’s new offering will provide brokers and policyholders with localised and unmatched cyber insurance tools, along with the combined cyber underwriting expertise of both Corvus and Travelers.
More recently, according to its website, Corvus Insurance was ranked eighth on the list of fastest-growing companies in North America by Deloitte. The firm said that it had grown its revenues by over 12,000% in a year.
