Matt is a Director of Product Management for Cyber at RMS, where he sets the strategy on building their Cyber products and solutions. For the (Re)Insurance industry he’s almost classed as an old-timer in Cyber modelling, having worked in Cyber Modelling and Exposure Management for close to ten years. Prior to this he worked to support the modelling and exposure management of a myriad of specialty lines at a well-regarded Lloyd’s Carrier. Matt has sat on many cross-Insurance Industry panels, particularly in Cyber and Modelling; namely as a founder member of the LMA Cyber Risk Strategy Group, the GA Cyber War and Terrorism group and advising on multiple Lloyd’s Cyber studies. He has a PhD in the Fluid Mechanics of Gravure printing. Matt continues to be surprised by how little relevance this has provided in his 17 years-experience in (re)insurance and Modelling.
