CAC Group executive chairman Paul Sparks said: “Mike played a major role in developing the vision for CAC and has provided significant influence and leadership at our firm. He was instrumental in aligning CAC Group as one brand, while building it to become a destination for top talent in the insurance industry.  

“As a result of Mike’s hard work and steadfast adherence to our values and vision, CAC Group’s performance has been extraordinary. We are extremely grateful for his contributions, and we look forward to his continued involvement with the company.” 

In October 2024, CAC Group unveiled CyberPeril Pro, a new cyber insurance solution tailored to the energy and utility sectors. 

This offering is designed to fill coverage gaps and provide a more flexible approach to managing cyber risks. 

It enables clients to avoid the complexities of exclusion buybacks or the necessity to self-insure against cyber-related property and casualty losses. 

At the same time, CAC Specialty also appointed Sandra Imbriani as executive vice-president of the Natural Resources division to spearhead the newly established utilities practice group.
