AXIS Global Cyber & Technology
Clear Decisions Under Pressure
Case Study
Since joining AXIS in June 2023, Eric has brought a valuable dual perspective to cyber underwriting, shaped by nine years as a wholesale broker. From the outset of his career, Eric was drawn to the fast pace and complexity of wholesale markets, and the opportunity to add meaningful value to each individual transaction.
Having worked on both sides, Eric understands the pressures brokers face and the importance of clear, timely decision‑making. This allows him to approach cyber underwriting with a strong emphasis on clear communication, transparency, and practical problem‑solving to effectively drive enhanced specialty solutions.
As a wholesale‑dedicated underwriting team leader for Technology E&O and Cyber, Eric thrives on collaboration. He focuses on building strong broker relationships and delivering thoughtful, informed responses, particularly when time is tight and the risks are complex.
That mindset is central to how Eric approaches his role at AXIS: combining technical cyber expertise with a service‑driven approach to help brokers move deals forward with confidence.
The Case Study
When a broker approached Eric with a mid‑term excess cyber customer with a new loss, he immediately recognised the sensitivity of the situation. The insured had suffered a ransomware incident only days earlier, and the broker was already under pressure to secure higher limits that had been discussed prior to the event.
Knowing that achieving a timely outcome could be challenging, Eric called the broker, and together, they worked through the details of the incident, and the customer’s risk profile to identify a viable path forward.
Drawing on close collaboration with the broker and support from the AXIS Cyber Risk Advisory team, Eric quickly gathered the necessary underwriting information and assessed the options.
The result was a tailored proposal that met the needs of both the broker and the insured, despite the challenging circumstances.
Eric’s proactive approach and willingness to go beyond the expected reinforced the strength of the broker relationship and demonstrated AXIS’s elevated response when it matters most.
