CFC, the specialist insurance provider, pioneer in emerging risk and market leader in cyber, today announced two senior promotions to unite its global cyber and proactive teams.
James Burns is promoted to Global Head of Cyber. Having joined CFC over 12 years ago, he has been at the forefront of the development of CFC’s cyber proposition and has led the business’s cyber strategy for the past two years.
In this newly created role, Burns will be responsible for CFC’s cyber strategy, underwriting and sales teams around the world.
“Our cyber team has gone from strength to strength over recent years and with CFC’s continued global expansion and new people on the ground in countries across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, we now have one of the biggest cyber teams in the market,” said Burns.
By pulling all our different cyber strands together to create a unified global team, we can ensure a consistent approach across all the territories in which we operate and that we continue to deliver the very best products and services to our broker partners and their clients.

Jason Hart is promoted to Managing Director, Proactive & Global Security Services. A renowned thought leader in cyber security with over two decades of experience in creating and developing information security offerings and services, Hart joined CFC as Head of Proactive Cyber a year ago.
“Our proactive cyber and security teams in the UK, US and Australia have played an enormous role in our promise to protect our cyber clients, preventing cyber incidents from occurring or minimising the impact of those that do,” commented Hart. "There is enormous potential in the cross-geographical expertise in these teams and creating a truly global operating model will enable greater transparency, collaboration and cross-pollination of knowledge and ideas, which we believe is critical to CFC’s continued growth."
In this expanded role, CFC’s Proactive and security teams, including Solis, are brought under Hart’s global leadership.
“CFC is in an exciting phase of growth, with new products and services delivered across an expanding global presence, and naturally our structure is evolving,” closed Louise O’Shea, CFC’s Group Chief Executive Officer.
“We have an incredibly talented team and James and Jason are both exceptional leaders. It is brilliant to see them continuing to develop their careers at CFC. I have no doubt that they, together with their teams, will go from strength to strength.”
