Max Perkins is Head of Insurance Solutions and COO for Spektrum Labs, an early-stage technology company with the first and only cyber resilience platform that seamlessly unifies cybersecurity, insurance, and backup into a single, automated system. By fusing these traditionally disconnected areas, Spektrum enables businesses to prove and maintain continuous resilience – from preventing cyber threats, to instant recovery, to securing financial coverage – all in one place. Spektrum unlocks resilience, automating and verifying the connection between security and insurance, so businesses can recover faster and protect their future.
Prior to joining Spektrum, Max’s professional career had been focused on insurance and risk management with particular expertise in intangible boardroom risks such as cyber, privacy, and intellectual property, and the overall impact of technology on business. Max was head of Strategy & Innovation for AXIS Capital’s Cyber & Technology underwriting division where his responsibilities included capital management and leading their team to launching the world’s first securitized Cyber Cat Bond. Prior to joining AXIS in April 2020, he was an insurance broker at Lockton Companies and an underwriter at AIG, CHUBB and Beazley (a Lloyd’s of London Syndicate).
Max and his family reside in Durham, NC and he is a graduate of Duke University.
