Beazley Appoints Greenwood as Head of Cyber & Executive Risk, Succeeding Donovan

Specialist insurer Beazley has appointed Bethany Greenwood as global head of cyber & executive risk (CyEx) from July 2020. She will join Beazley’s executive committee at the same time.

Greenwood joined Beazley last September to lead the London market and U.S.-based executive risk team, focusing on a wide range of products including U.S. directors & officers (D&O) and employment practices liability.

In a career spanning more than 20 years, she has worked extensively across management liability lines, including D&O, errors & omissions and cyber programs.

She will succeed Mike Donovan who has decided to retire from Beazley after 15 years with the company. However, Donovan will remain with Beazley for a time to ensure a smooth handover with Bethany and the team.

Also within CyEx, Paul Bantick, who currently leads the London market & international cyber & tech team, will take on global responsibility for cyber & tech from July.

“I am delighted Bethany Greenwood has accepted the role of head of cyber & executive risk. Bethany has quickly established herself as a widely respected leader within CyEx with the skills needed for the future of the team,” commented Andrew Horton, Beazley CEO.

“Paul Bantick’s deep expertise in the cyber space and track record for building strong underwriting propositions around the world will be of tremendous value as we continue to build our global capability,” he added.

“I would also like to thank Mike Donovan for his invaluable contribution to the business. Mike has played an instrumental role in Beazley’s growth in the U.S. and also across the group as a member of the executive committee,” said Horton. “Bethany, Paul, Mike and the CyEx leadership team will spend the coming months working together to ensure a smooth transition.”
