Former Allianz/AIG/Marsh underwriting vet to lead AI insurtech Cyberwrite

Cyber insurtech Cyberwrite has tapped a former  Allianz chief underwriter and AIG/Marsh senior executive to lead its insurance operations.

Hartmut Mai (pictured) joins Cyberwrite, a provider of patented AI cyber insurance risk technology 4SEEN and cyber insurance products, as group president.

Cyberwrite's patented 4SEEN algorithm predicts the risk level and potential economic impact of cyberattacks for any business in real-time and on-demand.

Mai brings more than 25 years of global insurance leadership experience to Cyberwrite. He previously served as the global chief underwriting officer (CUO) and board member at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS). During his career, he has also held leadership underwriting roles at AIG, led the launch of the cyber insurance policy of Allianz in Germany in 2013, and led the financial and professional liability (FINPRO) programme at Marsh.

"Following our collaboration in 2022, we are excited for Hartmut to join us at full capacity to lead our insurance operations," said Nir Perry, founder and CEO of Cyberwrite. "Hartmut brings tremendous experience in insurance underwriting and markets management, cyber insurance, digital transformation and innovation. With Hartmut, we will continue to enable the insurance ecosystem to unlock the cyber insurance opportunity using Cyberwrite's patented AI technology and help businesses get the coverage they need in real-time, raise their awareness to cyber risk, and reduce that risk."

Mai commented: "I am thrilled to join Cyberwrite. As cyberattacks, data breaches, and other cyber risks become more common and impact businesses globally, costs skyrocket for businesses and insurers. There is a tremendous need across the industry for better ways to underwrite risks and insure businesses quickly and in a data-driven manner. I have known Cyberwrite since 2017, and its unique patented AI technology brings to market unprecedented capabilities to reshape the future of cyber security and cyber insurance for greater profitability, resiliency, and cyber safety."
