Beazley adds senior Markel exec to UK tech and data breach team

Specialist insurer Beazley has appointed Michael Tewfik as a technology, media and business services underwriter focused on addressing data breach and cyber security risks in the UK.

Tewfik will work out of the company's London office. He joins Beazley from Markel, where he was a senior development underwriter, serving the UK regions. Prior to that, he held underwriting positions with Bluefin Group and Norwich Union.

Paul Bantick, Beazley's UK focus group leader for technology, media and business services, said: "We're excited to add Michael to the team and expand the reach of our cyber and data breach coverage throughout the United Kingdom.

"Beazley's cyber, technology e&o and data breach response insurance policies give businesses in the United Kingdom access to broad cover and dedicated and experienced breach response and claims managers to address the full scope of their technology, cyber and data breach exposures."
