Cyber underwriting agency Emergence has appointed Gerry Power as National Head of Sales.

Mr Power has more than 18 years’ underwriting experience and was most recently part of CGU’s professional risks team, developing and rolling out its cyber offering.

He will be responsible for sales of Emergence’s Cyber Event Protection and educating brokers on cyber risk.

Emergence’s MD Troy Filipcevic says Mr Power’s experience and reputation make this an exciting appointment. “Gerry is well equipped to help the company grow its presence in the cyber market and provide brokers with expert advice on cyber risks, and support brokers in providing the right solution for their clients,” he said.

Emergence was founded in 2015 and focuses on cyber risks to SMEs.
