NEW YORK , Oct. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Risk Strategies Company, a privately held, rapidly growing national insurance brokerage and risk management firm, announces its vice president and national cyber practice leader, Rob Rosenzweig, has been awarded the 2017 Toby Merrill Rising Star Award by NetDiligence® for his work coordinating and growing the cyber liability business for Risk Strategies nationwide.
A Hamilton College graduate, Rosenzweig joined Risk Strategies in 2007, where over the last decade he has expertly advised clients and colleagues on network security, privacy management and professional liability exposures. He is a member of the Professional Liability Underwriting Society and maintains the Registered Professional Liability Underwriter designation.
“Being named the first Toby Merrill Rising Star is a tremendous honor for me. Toby was an industry legend and personal mentor of mine,” said Rosenzweig. “Cyber insurance is critical for any business that wants to remain viable, and I take pride in educating my clients and ensuring their assets are both protected up-front and covered in the case of a security breach or other related incident.”
NetDiligence, a leading provider of cyber risk readiness and response services, presents two awards each year honoring the late icon in cyber risk insurance. The Toby Merrill Award for Excellence is given to a seasoned cyber risk insurance thought leader each June, while the Rising Star Award is given to an emerging insurance professional every October. This year’s Rising Star Award was sponsored by Chubb as a tribute to Toby, who served as the company’s division executive vice president and was a beloved colleague.
“Rob’s contributions to the industry made him an easy choice for this honor,” said Mark Greisiger, president of NetDiligence. “The business of cyber insurance only continues to grow, and Rob is setting the standard for professionals who will follow.”
Mike Christian, CEO and founder of Risk Strategies Company, added: “We’ve always been proud to have Rob on our team. He is an expert in his field and this recognition is well-deserved. For ten years now we’ve continuously looked forward to Rob’s input and insights, and have full confidence he will continue to grow our business and improve our offerings at this critical time.”
