Cyber risk intelligence provider KYND has announced a key leadership appointment within its U.S. team as it continues to expand its client base and enhance support for insurers managing cyber risks across the SME sector.
Aaron Aanenson has been named Head of Insurance, North America, where he will guide KYND’s insurance strategy across the United States. His role will focus on working closely with insurance carriers and brokers to enable faster underwriting, provide clearer oversight of cyber risk portfolios and help insurers grow within the SME cyber insurance segment.
With more than 18 years of experience spanning cybersecurity consulting, management consulting and insurance, Aaron brings a strong industry perspective to the role. His professional background includes positions with organisations such as Bitsight and S-RM, where he developed a detailed understanding of cyber risk and insurance markets.
Aaron said: “I’ve focussed my career on helping the nascent cyber insurance market grow – primarily supporting cyber underwriters to better understand the risk so they could more confidently grow their business.
“I am looking forward to making an impact at a company which is totally insurance-focused. KYND’s platform was built to serve carriers and brokers and that clarity of purpose creates a strong foundation for long-term partnership in the US market.”
Part of Aaron’s focus will be building closer engagement with insurer clients and brokers so their feedback directly informs KYND’s strategic priorities and the ongoing development of its cyber risk intelligence capabilities.
Andy Thomas, CEO and co-founder of KYND, said: “The US is a critical market for cyber insurance innovation and growth. Aaron’s combination of hands-on experience working directly with insurers and cybersecurity expertise makes him ideally placed to strengthen our presence.
“As insurers look to unlock the significant SME cyber opportunity, they need tools that provide clarity across both individual risks and entire portfolios. Aaron will play a central role in ensuring we deliver exactly that.”
KYND provides cyber risk intelligence to insurers around the world, turning complex cyber data into clear and actionable insights. Its platform delivers real-time visibility of cyber exposures alongside continuous monitoring, helping insurers and businesses manage evolving cyber threats more effectively.
