Background

About Simon Bell

I am an ambitious leader who enjoys taking on new challenges and breaking the barriers to my success. While I am a solution-driven individual, I tend not to take the easiest path, but rather explore new ways to tackle problems I lead the Financial and Professional Risks team for Marsh in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA). My main focus is cyber insurance, and seizing the opportunity to grow and develop product awareness in the region whilst ensuring placements are to the highest standard. To achieve this my team and I build on global and regional exposure and wording developments. As a regional expert on cyber insurance, I often speak at seminars and events, and drive thought leadership on cyber insurance through various media channels, including print, online, and television. I also have a keen interest in developing sophisticated products, such as owner procured and owner’s protective professional indemnity, in the regional market adding value to clients through differentiation — all the while ensuring transparency of insurance spend and security. I am a keen winter and water-sports enthusiast, enjoying skiing, wakeboarding, and kitesurfing. Specialities: Cyber insurance and cyber liability, single project professional indemnity and annual professional indemnity, financial institutions, private equity and investment managers insurance, directors and officers liability, crime, kidnap and ransom insurance
