Insurtech Arceo.ai brings Arch veteran to build broker & carrier relations

US insurtech Arceo.ai, a cyber risk analytics company, has hired Arch brokerage leader Thomas Gamble to build its broker and carrier relationships in new markets including London, Canada and Bermuda.

Prior to joining Arceo, Gamble was a national brokerage leader for Arch Insurance Group, and previously built and led the carrier's D&O practice. He also served as president of the global mergers & acquisitions group for Zurich Insurance, where he built and managed the global M&A group, said to be the first fully integrated underwriting unit for M&A in the world. His career background includes more than 25 years of leading development and growth of specialty lines for large insurance companies.

In his new role as executive vice president, global chief distribution officer, Gamble will be based in Arceo's New York offices.

Mario Vitale, president of Arceo, said: "We are excited that Tom Gamble – recognised throughout the brokerage community as a topflight professional – has brought his expertise to our team. His proven record of driving exceptional results further strengthens Arceo's commitment to delivering world-class cyber insurance solutions to our clients. With Thomas, Arceo is adding a valuable team member whose ability to innovate has made him a leader in the insurance industry."

Emy Donavan, EVP and global chief underwriting officer for Arceo, added: "Tom's industry experience adds a strong, reputable leader who knows the broker-carrier-client dynamic and will bring those relationships to Arceo to open new markets for us including London, Canada and Bermuda. In addition, I worked directly with Tom while he was a national broker at Willis, and know that in securing coverage for clients across a broad range of industries and products, he always looks for an innovative solution rather than resting on industry norms."

Gamble commented: "Without exception, cyber risk is the top challenge for businesses today. My goal is to further enhance the innovations that have made Arceo a leader in cyber risk management and insurance solutions. I look forward to working with the Arceo team to build on their successes and continue transforming how carriers and brokers serve clients with a better cyber risk management model."
