Jack Bassett has joined Howden as cyber lead for the Pacific region, rejoining the broking group after previously working in its UK accounts team.

He left the company in 2022 to become Lockton assistant VP for professional and executive risk and VP for cyber security.  

Howden Pacific CEO Matt Bacon says the regional operation is working to expand its capabilities responding to trends in cyber risk, artificial intelligence and technology.

“Jack’s appointment reflects our belief in the critical importance of cyber resilience and reinforces our ambition to be the trusted partner for organisations navigating this complex and rapidly evolving risk landscape.” Mr Bacon said.
