It’s a digital coup d’état as the Cyber & Professional Lines Group (CPLG), part of the Tokio Marine HCC consortium, welcomes Catherine Lyle. Lyle joins as its new maestro of cyber claims and incident response. The stage is set, the spotlight is on, and the cyberworld is her canvas.
Effective September 25, 2023, Ms. Lyle takes the reins as Senior Vice President and Head of Cyber Claims & Incident Response. She will report directly to, Michael Palotay, the President of CPLG.
President Palotay couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, noting, “Catherine’s arrival is nothing short of a digital revelation. Her mastery of cyber claims and coverage, spanning multiple carriers, adds an extra layer of resilience to our group. As we chart a course through the cyber sea, we are committed to delivering top-notch security solutions to safeguard individuals and businesses.”
Ms. Lyle, with over two decades of insurance industry wizardry, brings a track record that reads like a thriller. At Coalition, she was the trailblazer, the first woman to join the organization, and her magic touch transformed the claims team from a solo act into a bustling ensemble of 18. Cyberattack resolution became her forte, and crafting policy wording was her signature spell.
But Catherine Lyle isn’t just a cyber virtuoso. She moonlights as a professor, a published author, and a privacy attorney extraordinaire. Her voice resonates globally as she unravels the enigma of cyber trends, law, and claims. Her influence extends beyond the corporate world, as she played a pivotal role in crafting cyber privacy laws. Most recently, she wowed the audience at the prestigious cybersecurity event, Black Hat USA 2023.
In her own words, Ms. Lyle shared, “Tokio Marine HCC bears a sacred duty: to shield against cyber threats and resurrect businesses stronger than ever. I’m poised to infuse the wisdom from global leaders into our claims-handling structure, cocooning our clients in a fortress of maximum-protection policies. The Cyber & Professional Lines Group, with its inclusive culture, is a beacon of expertise, and I’m thrilled to amplify their voices.”
