Nirvana appoints Kevin Kettrick as Cyber Lead

London, UK, 21st September 2026 - Specialty Managing General Agent (MGA) Nirvana today announced the appointment of industry veteran Kevin Kettrick as Cyber Lead London.

Kettrick has over 25 years of London market experience, including 15 years underwriting SME and mid-range Cyber, first as co-founder of Ptarmigan Underwriting Ltd before its sale to Gallagher in 2022 and more recently as founder of Clovasure, a specialist Cyber MGA.

The appointment marks another milestone in Nirvana’s product expansion, following its recent merger with UK-based Pulse Insurance Limited and acquisition of Arena NV in 2025 as well as the agreement in July 2026 to acquire Ryan C&S, the Swedish public sector division of Ryan Nordics.

Kettrick said: "I’m delighted to be joining such a growing and dynamic operation as Nirvana, who have rightfully earned a stellar reputation in the Media Liability field as well as a long-established mid-market presence for combined Technology and Cyber.

I look forward to bolstering Nirvana’s current stand-alone Cyber offering in the marketplace, working with brokers/agents new and old and playing a key role in Nirvana’s ambitious global growth strategy going forward."

“We are delighted to be partnering with Kevin and adding his experience, expertise and relationships to the group,” added Rob Jones, Chairman and Head of Media, Technology and Cyber at Nirvana. “This exciting expansion is a natural evolution given our mature and established Media, Technology and Cyber Portfolio and makes us even more relevant with our fantastic London and international partners.”

Kettrick will initially write Excess Cyber business before developing a primary product solution later in the year.
