JLT Re strengthens cyber expertise with ED hire

Reinsurance broker JLT Re said on July 31 that it has appointed Ben Gray as a partner in its London & International Markets (LIM) team with a focus on cyber treaty.

Gray joins from ED where he was a cyber treaty broker. Previous to that he worked at Marsh as a direct cyber broker. He will be based in JLT Re’s head office in London.

“We are delighted Ben is joining our growing team and we welcome his ability to develop and maintain longstanding and valued relationships,” said Bill Bennett, head of division, LIM, JLT Re.

“Cyber is a very complimentary offering to our other specialty classes within LIM. Ben’s experience across the Cyber market will make him an invaluable asset to our clients,” he added.

“We have seen growing demand for our Cyber related services, not just with regards to our Cyber Treaty offering but also working with the Programmes and Binders team within JLT Re and with JLT Specialty. Ben’s knowledge in both insurance and reinsurance will be of real value to the team as we continue to build out this area of specialist expertise for JLT Re.”
