Marsh Announces Global Cyber Practice and New Leaders

Posted on October 25, 2023October 25, 2023 By Martin Hinton

Marsh has unveiled plans to launch a comprehensive global cyber practice. The goal? Combine its extensive cyber capabilities encompassing insurance, risk intelligence, incident management, and cybersecurity on a global scale.

Tom Reagan, the current Cyber Practice Leader for the US and Canada at Marsh Specialty, has been appointed as the Global Specialty Head of Cyber for Marsh Specialty. In this role, Mr. Reagan will oversee the delivery of cutting-edge transactional and advisory services that will empower clients worldwide to better identify, measure, and manage their cyber-related risks. He will continue to be based in New York.

Additional leadership changes include:

Meredith Schnur, who presently serves as the Cyber Brokerage Leader for the US and Canada, will succeed Mr. Reagan. Schnur will lead Marsh Specialty’s US and Canada Cyber Practice as of January 1, 2024. She will also remain based in New York.

Greg Eskins, the current Cyber Product Leader for the US and Canada, will take on the role of leading the new Global Cyber Insurance Center. This will focus on developing and delivering innovative cyber insurance solutions to address global risk issues. Mr. Eskins will be based in Miami.

Brian Warszona, previously Deputy UK Cyber Practice Leader, will lead the new Global Cyber Digital Center. She will oversee the development and deployment of innovative digital tools and resources for clients. He is relocating to Chicago from London.

The establishment of this global cyber practice comes in response to the ongoing and ever-evolving challenge of cyber risks. Pat Donnelly, President Marsh Specialty and Global Placement, expressed confidence that consolidating Marsh’s cyber capabilities under Tom Reagan’s leadership will enhance their ability to assist clients and communities in managing cyber risks in today’s digital economy.

“Cyber risk remains an urgent, ongoing, and constantly evolving challenge for organizations around the world,” said Pat Donnelly. He added, “As the leading cyber insurance broker, we have an experienced and deep bench of talented cyber specialists ready to assume broader responsibilities.”

In this clip from our latest podcast, Martin Hinton and William Altman dive into the long-term consequences of data breaches — especially those affecting K–12 students. Highlighting the PowerSchool breach, which exposed 60 million student records, they explore how leaked personal data like mental health history may resurface decades later, leaving individuals vulnerable to fraud, identity abuse, and digital exploitation.

Altman warns that while credit monitoring may address financial risk, it fails to protect against deeper psychological and reputational harm. This conversation is a must-hear for educators, parents, and policymakers thinking beyond immediate breach responses.

Education Cybersecurity Exposed: Long-Term Impact of K–12 Cybersecurity Breaches
The threat of cybersecurity breaches in 2025 and the long-term damage of a cyberattack. In this episode of the Cyber Insurance News Podcast, Executive Editor Martin Hinton interviews William Altman, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence at CyberCube. They explore the evolving world of cybersecurity and cyber insurance. The episode dives into why small businesses are highly vulnerable, how AI is both a weapon and a shield in cyber defense and the critical gaps in threat intelligence. They also discuss basic measures even the smallest business can take to protect themselves from a cybersecurity breach. 

A spotlight is cast on the education sector, where underfunded cybersecurity programs have made schools a prime target for threat actors. These cybersecurity breaches can have a lasting impact. One alarming breach compromised 60 million K-12 student records, revealing sensitive data like mental health histories, data that can't be “reset” like a credit card. This breach raises urgent concerns about the long-term impacts of cybercrime on students' privacy, identity, and future safety, far beyond the limits of traditional credit monitoring.

They also explore the security posture of the financial sector, the power of identity and privileged access management, and the real-world impact of software vulnerabilities.

In the wake of the Harrods hack and cyberattacks impacting other retailers, the alarming state of UK cybersecurity will be revealed in 2024. From cyberattacks hitting major UK retailers like Co-op and Harrods to small businesses struggling without protection, the message is clear—cybercrime is a national threat.

New research by Pen Underwriting reveals that while 90% of UK and Irish businesses feel secure, only 47% have dedicated cyber insurance. Even more shocking—only 18% of businesses earning under £1 million are covered. The cost isn’t just financial—real people suffer, like the couple who lost their wedding cake due to a ransomware attack.

Watch now to understand:

Why UK businesses are dangerously unprepared

How cyberattacks are more common than fires or theft

The key role of employee training, data backups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Why cyber insurance is no longer optional
