Resilience has announced key additions to its underwriting team as the company builds on its growth plans in response to increasing demand for cyber risk management.
Among the additions is Maria Long (pictured left), who joins Resilience as deputy chief underwriting officer. Long brings 17 years of experience in the insurance industry, most recently with Munich Re, where she focused on cyber risk management. Her expertise spans the full cyber risk lifecycle, including underwriting cyber and technology errors and omissions (E&O) risks and designing programs to enhance policyholder cyber maturity.
Scott Schleicher (pictured), a professional with over 30 years in the industry, joins Resilience as senior vice president of underwriting. Schleicher’s extensive background includes leadership roles in underwriting and brokering, most recently at AXA XL, where he managed diverse client portfolios.
The company also welcomes Megan Koffer as vice president of underwriting in the Southeast region. Koffer brings 10 years of combined experience from AXA XL and Hiscox USA. In the Midwest region, Janine Cooper joins as assistant vice president of underwriting. Cooper’s career began in life sciences underwriting at CNA, later transitioning to cyber and professional liability roles at Ironshore Insurance.
“We are pleased to welcome Maria Long, Scott Schleicher, Megan Koffer, and Janine Cooper to the team,” said Mario Vitale, president of Resilience. “Throughout the year, we have expanded the breadth of experience and depth of expertise of our cyber underwriting. Top talent are joining Resilience because we go beyond simply transferring risk and help clients engage in better cyber business decision-making. With a unique combination of insurance expertise and an award-winning cyber risk platform, we have achieved industry-leading loss ratios for our clients.”
According to a news release, the announcement comes at the close of a transformative year for Resilience. In 2024, the company doubled its insurance capacity in the US to $20 million per client and expanded its offerings to include technology E&O liability coverage.
