Mosaic Expands Global Cyber Offering
Mosaic Insurance has expanded its cybersecurity business line internationally, with the addition of new team members to its UK-based unit.
A spokesperson said, “The specialty insurer began underwriting global cyber coverage from Chicago April 1, just two months after launching with headquarters in Bermuda, a new Lloyd’s syndicate, 1609, and a network of underwriting hubs in the US, UK and Asia. Mosaic’s London cyber team is the product’s first international unit, with more to follow as the company moves into new jurisdictions.”

“With the cyber market rapidly hardening in 2021, and rate increases of between 40 and 50 percent on average now being seen, we feel this is a perfect time to grow our international cyber team,” said Mosaic’s Global Head of Cyber, Yosha DeLong. “Building on our London unit bolsters our bench strength in market-leading talent and allows us to powerfully grow our global cyber offering.”
The company added, “Amid rising threats from cyber warfare, data breaches, ransomware and other attacks on system and software, Mosaic’s cybersecurity coverage aims to protect diverse industry types from emerging risks. Its cyber teams support clients in both preventing attacks and minimizing damage in the aftermath—from crisis services and legal defense to business interruption and data recovery. With an ability to lead primary business, Mosaic offers maximum capacity of up to GBP £10 million internationally.

“New additions to Mosaic’s cybersecurity team in London include:
- George Cole, AVP, Underwriter, International Cyber, who works with global clients to develop solutions and grow a sustainable cyber portfolio. Previously, he was an assistant underwriter at Occam Underwriting, after completing the Lloyd’s of London Graduate Programme. He is an accredited ACII Chartered Insurer
- Lucy Barker-Hahlo, Junior Underwriter, International Cyber, who supports the unit, focusing on underwriting of accounts. She previously worked as an assistant underwriter at EmergIn Risk, a Ryan Specialty Group MGA, specializing in cyber, technology, and media for US and international clients.

“Both report to James Tuplin, Head of International Cyber at Mosaic, who is developing the international cyber portfolio in London, Continental Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. His unit supports the work of Mosaic’s US-based cyber underwriting team, including DeLong and Brian Dusek, Head of Americas Cyber, both in Chicago, and New York-based Production Specialist Daisy Lopez.”
“I am very excited to announce the next steps in ramping up Mosaic’s international cyber team to meet the rising demand,” said Tuplin. “George and Lucy have established themselves as two of the best young cyber underwriters in the London market, and I look forward to working with them to build Mosaic’s cyber offering worldwide.”
Mosaic combines Lloyd’s Syndicate 1609 with a wholly-owned syndicated capital management agency, enabling the company to identify, source and underwrite business on behalf of itself, along with other trade-capital partners. Its six lines of business launched to date include: transactional liability, cyber, political risk, political violence, financial and professional lines.
