Tokio Marine HCC has formed the Tokio Marine HCC – Cyber & Professional Lines Group, led by Richard Robin, the group's president.

In a statement, Tokio Marine explained that the new group includes the operations of the recently-acquired NAS Insurance Services, LLC (“NAS”), where Mr. Robin served as chief executive officer, as well as the reorganized operations of the former Tokio Marine HCC – Professional Lines Group.

Tokio Marine said that the expanded team will provide cyber and professional liability insurance solutions for its clients and policyholders.

“This is the first step in combining our strengths to create the most responsive team for our clients,” remarked Thomas Harmeyer, the group's executive chairperson. “As businesses face an ever accelerating pace of change, we are forging a new path to address their emerging risks.”

“Our tech and cyber solutions have always been market-leading,” said Mr. Robin. “Now, that same energy and drive for innovation is spread throughout all of our lines of business, responding to increasing demand from our clients and setting the bar higher for the industry.”

The Cyber & Professional Lines Group's leadership team includes:

  • Michael Palotay, chief underwriting officer and cyber product leader
  • Jill Linhardt, senior vice president – legal, compliance, and risk management
  • Chris Murphy, senior vice president – employment practices
  • Jim Bechter, senior vice president – architects and engineers
  • Matthew Sherman, senior vice president – reinsurance and programs
  • Jill Daly, senior vice president – claims
  • Jeremy Barnett, senior vice president – marketing and business development
  • Daniel Mogelnicki, vice president – miscellaneous professional liability

“We are just at the beginning of this new business,” added Mr. Robin. “Our leadership has expertise and vision, and our teams are excited to collaborate and grow the business.”
