Former risk manager Joshua Cryer has joined US-based technology risk platform Intangic as its director of client solutions.
Cryer was most recently with THG Plc as its director of risk and insurance where he established the group’s first captive insurance company in Guernsey. He was responsible for enterprise risk and insurance.
He also worked for Virgin Atlantic and began his career as a broker on large complex accounts at WTW and Gallagher.
Cryer will report into Ryan Dodd, founder and CEO of Intangic.
“Josh has a strong track record of devising, managing and implementing complex, successful global insurance programmes making him well suited to the role of director of client solutions,” said Dodd.
“He knows from a risk manager’s perspective how important it is to bring differentiated, actionable intelligence to risk / insurance directors and CISOs to actively manage cyber risk.”
Intangic is particularly interested in working with captive owners looking for better ways to understand, mitigate and fund cyber coverage.
“Based on my regular interaction with both risk / insurance directors and internal security teams, it was clear that the market needed alternative approaches to both the understanding and transfer of a dynamic risk like cyber,” Cryer said.
“When I first met the Intangic team a year ago, I was impressed by their cyber expertise and risk management platform, which was totally different to anything I had seen in the insurance market.”
