“Over the past several months, Stephen and I worked closely together on our Series C financing round with Zurich as the lead investor and a strategic partner. Stephen’s deep expertise in financial lines, unique perspective on the cyber landscape, and his confidence in Cowbell’s differentiated approach will be instrumental as we continue to advance global SME cyber adoption. I look forward to working with him as we scale operations.”
Moss joined Zurich in 2017 “as Head of Specialties in the UK and has almost 30 years of experience in the insurance industry.”
As Group Head of Financial Lines and Cyber at the company, he is “responsible for Professional Indemnity, D&O, Financial Institutions, Mergers & Acquisitions, Cyber and Legal Indemnities.”
