Cyber insurance provider Coalition has named Trent Nihill as GM for Australia.
Nihill has worked as a specialist in the cyber and financial lines space for nearly 15 years, focusing on insurance areas including cyber, professional indemnity, and Directors & Officers (D&O) coverage.
In his previous roles, he led cyber underwriting teams and managed portfolios for major global carriers in Australia.
“Trent's performance in launching and growing our underwriting operation has been exceptional,” said Kyle Bryant, Coalition’s head of international.
“He has the strategic vision and deep market experience needed to scale Coalition to the next level in Australia.”
“I’m looking forward to continuing to drive our mission of protecting the unprotected and fundamentally changing how organisations manage cyber risk,” said Nihill.
“Coalition is actively helping policyholders by combining superior technology and real-time cybersecurity insights with insurance best practices. I’m excited to lead the team here in Australia and drive a more active era of cyber insurance for Australian businesses.”
In August, Coalition promoted Connor McKay to head of business development for Australia.
