Specialist insurance and reinsurance broker AI12 Limited has announced the appointment of Alfie Langley as Head of Networks, a move that will expand the firm’s network capabilities while continuing to build depth across its specialist insurance platform.
In his new role, Langley will be responsible for establishing and growing AI12’s cyber expertise across the UAE, MEA and SEA regions.
His responsibilities include designing cyber insurance strategies for large enterprises, mid-market enterprises and SMBs, while guiding clients in understanding, managing and mitigating complex cyber risks.
Additionally, Langley will work closely with the specialist team to enhance AI12’s specialist proposition and strengthen its market position in complex and evolving risk categories.
Langley commented: “Cyber risks continue to evolve, challenging even the most complex organizations. I’m delighted to be joining AI12 at such an exciting stage of its development. Our focus is on building market-leading cyber products that combine deep technical expertise with practical, customer-focused solutions.
“A key part of this is ensuring customers fully understand what they are buying and why, demystifying cyber insurance and enabling smarter risk transfer decisions. AI12 provides a unique platform to develop innovative cyber products, strengthen the relationship between insurers and customers, and provide clear, responsive support in an increasingly complex risk environment.”
Langley has more than nine years of insurance experience in underwriting, brokerage, financial operations, professional indemnity and cyber insurance.
His professional background includes five years working in the London and Lloyd’s markets, with extensive experience in D&O, PI, SPPI and networking. In addition, he has been based in Dubai for the past four years, working in underwriting and brokerage.
This diverse experience enables him to develop strong connections with clients, insurers and markets in the UAE, Dubai International Financial Centre, London and Lloyds, Singapore, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region.
Langley’s appointment follows AI12’s recent announcement of its establishment in the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) and authorization from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), marking another important step in the firm’s long-term strategy to expand the breadth and depth of its specialist capabilities globally.

Richard Prenter, chief operating officer and head of expertise at AI12, said: “Alfie’s appointment is another important step in the continued growth of the AI12 expertise platform. Cyber has now become a board-level risk for organizations across industries, and clients are increasingly demanding advice that combines technical understanding, market access, regulatory awareness and practical risk transfer solutions.”
