Insurer appoints underwriter Iain Ainslie

Ace has appointed Iain Ainslie as technology and cyber liability underwriter.

Based in London, Ainslie will be responsible for underwriting technology and cyber liability business in the UK, Ireland and North America and will report to Trevor Ormes, product head financial lines at Ace.

He will work with national and overseas brokers to bring awareness of technology and cyber risk to their clients, and help ensure those clients have adequate protection in the event of a breach or failure in their IT systems.

Ormes said: “We are focused on establishing specialty technical knowledge in this continually evolving arena. Iain’s knowledge will enable Ace to build technology and cyber liability underwriting capabilities throughout the organisation. With technology playing an ever greater role in business, more brokers are keen to ensure their clients are adequately protected”.

Ainslie has worked in the London Insurance Market for over 24 years, 21 of which were within information technology.
