Chubb has appointed Jimaan Sané as head of growth for its global cyber business, effective immediately, as insurers continue to recalibrate their cyber strategies in response to evolving loss dynamics and competitive pressures.
Based in Zurich, Sané will be responsible for driving performance and expansion across Chubb’s global cyber growth initiatives. He will work closely with underwriting and distribution teams to support the delivery of cyber insurance solutions across regions, industry sectors and client segments.
The appointment comes as the cyber insurance market shows signs of stabilisation following several years of rate increases and tighter underwriting conditions. While pricing momentum has eased across many segments, insurers remain focused on disciplined growth, portfolio diversification and underwriting consistency, as ransomware activity, systemic risk and regulatory scrutiny continue to influence risk appetite.
Sané joins Chubb from Beazley Group, where he spent more than a decade in senior cyber leadership roles. Most recently, he served as growth leader for London and international markets, overseeing strategy and expansion across London wholesale and international platforms. His experience includes leading multinational underwriting teams across London, Europe, Canada and Singapore, providing him with broad exposure to diverse regulatory frameworks and distribution models.
His appointment reflects a wider trend among global carriers to invest in senior leadership roles dedicated to growth, rather than pure underwriting, as cyber insurance matures from a specialist line into a core component of commercial insurance portfolios. Insurers are increasingly seeking to balance sustainable expansion with tighter risk selection, enhanced data analytics and closer engagement with brokers and clients.
For Chubb, which has identified cyber as a key global line, the role is expected to support more coordinated growth across regions while aligning product development and distribution strategies with local market conditions and client demand.
