Gordge comments: “The war and terrorism market – by its very nature – is increasingly complex, driven by growing geopolitical events, tensions and regulatory developments, which are resulting in more advanced attacks from terror groups and lone wolves across the world. Matt’s impressive background in this field will help to elevate our service and product offerings, ensuring we’re able to continue providing successful risk transfer solutions for insureds, particularly in higher-risk territories, while strengthening Markel’s position as a leading terrorism insurer.”
