Edward Hart has been promoted to the role of international head of cyber at Aspen Insurance Holdings.

Mr Hart joined Aspen Insurance in February as a senior underwriter and has ten years of cyber underwriting experience, having served in roles at Brit Insurance and Barbican Insurance Group.

In his short time thus far at Aspen, Mr Hart has expanded distribution relationships, attracted class leading talent and brought meaningful insights to the group underwriting strategy.

Mr Hart obtained his undergraduate degree in economics and management from the University of Leeds, and currently maintains his ACII designation.

In this elevated role, he will be responsible for advancing the International Cyber team, its underwriting strategy and risk management capabilities from his London office.

Bobby Bianconi, Aspen Insurance global head of cyber, said: “Ed’s promotion underscores Aspen’s deep bench strength as an industry leader of cyber insurance products and services, and further demonstrates Aspen’s commitment to growing this important business line and the integral part it plays in the Finpro portfolio.”
