Barbican adds two hires to its cyber team

Graeme King and Richard Spotswood have been appointed by Barbican to lead its cyber offering. It has been reported that King will join as business group leader for cyber with Spotswood becoming cyber underwriting manager. Barbican has been eager to develop its cyber team since former business group leader for cyber, Geoff White, left the company in August. White left with a couple of colleagues last year to run the division at Neon owned Tarian. King was previously practice leader and underwriter for technology professional indemnity (PI) and cyber at AGCS, joining the company in 2014. Before this he served as a senior technology and cyber underwriter at XL. Spotswood has been on Kings team before as a senior tech PI and cyber underwriter, with a focus on AGCS's tech errors and omissions and cyber liability portfolio. He has previously worked at Principia Underwriting and Willis.
