LONDON – 6 January 2026 – 8:00 A.M. (GMT) – Advanced Technology Assurance Limited (“ATA”) welcomes Loren Nickel and Brian Warren to its Board of Directors. New directors will help build ATA to be a property and casualty insurance partner for small, middle, and large businesses globally that own, operate, develop, or manufacture advanced technologies across every sector of the economy.

Loren Nickel currently leads the risk and insurance team at Alphabet & Google. He has led the risk team through significant advancements in AI, Cloud computing, development of self-driving vehicles, and supported technical infrastructure needs with safe and efficient data center growth. He also led the first indemnity earthquake catastrophe bond for a corporate. Loren has also been Chairman/President of the M200 Risk Organization, one of the insurance industry's longest-running and most consequential association of risk management professionals.

Brian Warren led the risk and insurance team at Microsoft. He retired after twenty-five years at Microsoft and just under a decade with Allstate. At Microsoft, he led, collaborated, and managed innovative and first-of-its-kind commercial and captive insurance solutions across software and intellectual property, cyber risk, life/health for employee benefits, trade credit, reinsurance, and data center construction.

“Loren and Brian know what ATA’s customers want and need,” said Michael Coles, Chairman of ATA. “They’ll help us develop preeminent insurance products and facilities.”

“ATA understands the needs of risk managers and CFOs at the world’s most innovative companies,” said Loren Nickel. “Sounds simple, but surprisingly rare in a 300-year-old insurance industry.”

“Loren and I are going to help build ATA to be the insurance partner we wish we had,” said Brian Warren. “Brokers will be putting their clients in good hands with ATA.”

Brokers can now experience ATA’s ‘highly technical, remarkably straightforward’ service by visiting its underwriting desks at Box355A in Lloyd’s.

“We are strong believers in in-person trading,” said Alistair Blundy, CEO of ATA. “As risks evolve, face-to-face underwriting delivers clarity, trust, and better outcomes. It is the foundation on which Lloyd’s has been successful for centuries, and the same face-to-face approach is at the heart of ATA’s philosophy.”

Directors’ appointments are subject to customary regulatory approvals.
