Edward Shen

Head of Casualty Underwriting, Peak Re

Edward Shen leads casualty underwriting at Peak Re, with a strong focus on cyber insurance and technology-driven risks across international markets. His scope includes cyber insurance, professional indemnity, directors & officers liability, product liability, recall, environmental liability, and other complex liability exposures.

With over two decades of experience across the primary insurance and reinsurance markets, Edward works closely with insurers and risk stakeholders to translate real-world cyber incidents—such as ransomware, data breaches, and technology failures—into insurable risk structures. He regularly engages in discussions around cyber loss drivers, coverage limitations, aggregation risk, and the interaction between cyber, liability, and traditional insurance policies.

Prior to joining Peak Re, Edward held senior underwriting roles at Munich Re, Chubb and AIG, focusing on casualty and cyber-related risks.

Edward has been a Chartered Property & Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) since 2008 and was elected CPCU International Ambassador in 2022.
