CFC expands in Canada with cyber hire

Specialist insurance provider CFC has expanded its Canadian operations with the appointment of Emma Suschkov (pictured) as cyber development manager. 

Based in Toronto, Suschkov brings extensive cyber insurance and technology expertise to the role, joining CFC after a notable career with leading insurance and technology firms.  

Prior to joining the MGA, Suschkov spent over three years at Coalition, where she held key underwriting leadership positions. Her professional background also includes roles in underwriting and technology management at prominent insurers Travelers and AIG. 

"CFC's reputation as a market leader in innovative cyber insurance, and its commitment to proactively helping protect clients against cyber risks truly align with my own passion for cybersecurity," Suschkov said about her new role. 

Kate Della Mora, CEO of CFC Canada, emphasized the strategic importance of the appointment. "Emma brings a wealth of cyber knowledge and is a welcome addition to our growing Canadian team," she stated. The hire represents a significant step in deepening the company's relationships and service offerings in the Canadian market. 

Suschkov's responsibilities will include strengthening corporate relationships, creating new broker connections, and supporting broker education in the region. She will work closely with underwriting and claims teams in London to develop CFC's Canadian cyber insurance offering. 

CFC Canada intends to focus its operations on proactive risk management solutions to address the cyber risk landscape. 

The appointment is part of a broader expansion strategy in the North American market, with plans to continue strengthening its local presence through additional team members in the coming weeks.
