Ed strengthens professional & executive risk and cyber portfolio with Paragon hire

London-based reinsurance, wholesale and specialty broker Ed has hired John Head as a broker and producer to support the growth of its professional and executive risk portfolio, as well as strengthen its cyber offering.

Ed stated that professional and executive risk will be a key area of focus and development for the company.

Head joins Ed from Paragon International Insurance where, since 2018, he served as a cyber and technology E&O broker with a primary focus on the US wholesale market. He began his insurance career in underwriting in 2015, working with the financial lines team at Antares.

Henry Warner, divisional director – cyber at Ed, said: “The cyber market is increasingly becoming more complex and clients, more than ever, need us to expertly navigate the current challenging market for them. John’s experience in the wholesale cyber market as well as his proven ability to provide bespoke solutions to clients ranging from SMEs to large corporations, will be hugely beneficial. We look forward to working with him.”
