Mosaic Insurance has promoted Yosha DeLong to Global Engagement Officer and appointed Brian Bonkoski as Global Head of Cyber to lead the company’s fastest-growing business line.
A spokesperson said, “Mosaic Insurance has promoted Yosha DeLong to the new role of Global Engagement Officer and hired cyber and technology liability executive Brian Bonkoski to lead the company’s cyber business.
“Based in Chicago, DeLong has built Mosaic’s cyber business since the company’s launch in February 2021, with a current team of 32 specialists spanning a worldwide footprint that includes the US, Canada, Bermuda, UK, Germany, and United Arab Emirates. She will now be responsible for driving Mosaic’s overall market engagement across business lines—including product distribution and growth, broker and client relationships, and sales and business development initiatives that harness Mosaic’s digital capabilities.”
“Yosha’s extensive experience and deep understanding of our products and global broker relationships will be key as she leads our market engagement efforts to drive profitable growth,” said Mosaic Co-CEO Mark Wheeler. “Her leadership in cyber has been integral to Mosaic’s success, and I’m confident she will excel in her critical new role.”
“Engaging closely with our clients and partners has been a cornerstone of Mosaic’s strategy from Day One,” noted DeLong. “As we enter this new growth phase, I’m excited to help elevate our global impact with partners, brokers, clients and stakeholders, as well as collaborate with Brian on the continued expansion of our cyber line of business.”

The spokesperson said, “Bonkoski, based in Philadelphia, will take over the role of Global Head of Cyber at Mosaic, effective June 16. He brings 20 years of underwriting and distribution leadership experience, with previous executive roles at Chubb and AIG. Most recently, he was senior vice president, head of field operations at Chubb, where he oversaw US national production and broker distribution. He has also held leadership roles focused on the US East Coast, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Bonkoski began his insurance career as an underwriter at AIG.
“At Mosaic, he’ll be responsible for leading global cyber product development, distribution, and profitability.”
“Brian’s proven expertise in cyber and technology risk, and his market following, combined with his strategic vision, will be essential in strengthening our global franchise and delivering sustainable value,” said Toby Smith, CEO, Americas, at Mosaic. “These appointments reaffirm our commitment to being a leading, diversified global specialty underwriter and our ongoing growth plans for the Americas.”
The spokesperson said, “Cyber was Mosaic’s first product in 2021 and is now its fastest-growing business, expected to be the largest product line in its specialty portfolio over the next year. Mosaic launched primary cyber across all underwriting regions in 2023, building on two years of strong excess coverage and was the first cyber carrier to embark on inside-out underwriting through their Mosaic x SafeInside product. Today, its cyber focus is on middle-market businesses across diverse industries—from financial services and retail to manufacturing and construction—offering maximum capacity of USD $25 million across its network of underwriting hubs.”
“I’m thrilled to join a dynamic, agile cyber insurance carrier that’s committed to becoming a market leader,” said Bonkoski. “I look forward to leading our mission of delivering innovative coverage and creative risk-management solutions that truly support and protect our policyholders.”
The spokesperson said, “Cyber is one of seven lines of specialty business at Mosaic; other divisions include environmental liability, transactional liability, political risk, political violence, professional liability and financial institutions.”
