CFC, the specialist insurance provider, pioneer in emerging risk and market leader in cyber, has announced the creation of a new US-based cyber development team and expansion of its regional presence on the ground with the appointments of John Keebler and Morgan Justice.
Keebler joins the business as its new National Cyber Development Leader, USA, based in Chicago. Working closely with CFC’s US and London cyber underwriting and distribution teams, he will be responsible for overseeing strategic cyber initiatives to help CFC’s broker partners generate profitable and sustainable income streams from new buyers of cyber, and maintaining and developing key broker relationships.
With a career in cyber insurance spanning over 15 years, Keebler joins CFC from Coalition where he held the role of national director for business development.
Also joining CFC is Morgan Justice, who takes on the role of Cyber Development Manager for the Western Region, USA. She brings valuable experience in driving new business from her previous position as West Coast Underwriting and Business Development Leader at Coalition.
Based in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area and reporting into Keebler, Morgan will be primarily responsible for driving new broker relationships and helping CFC’s broker partners in the western region to grow their cyber portfolios.
CFC’s cyber development manager based in New York, Annie Lyons, will also report into Keebler.
Commenting on these new appointments, CFC’s Head of Global Cyber Development, Lindsey Maher, says: “Both John and Morgan bring an incredible amount of experience and maturity to these new roles and I’m confident that combining their skills with those that Annie has demonstrated over recent months will accelerate our growth ambitions in the US. The creation of our US-focused cyber development team demonstrates our commitment to providing a dedicated resource to help our brokers succeed."

John, Morgan and Annie will act as CFC’s key decision makers on the ground to provide a fast turnaround as well as support the more complex deals and deliver on specific projects for our partners. Lindsey Maher , Head of Global Cyber Development
Maher concludes: “More US brokers are building dedicated cyber placement strategies and CFC has the expertise, knowledge and innovative approach to be the local market of choice to help them grow sustainable, profitable business.”
