The company has appointed Jonathan Weekes as President, Canada of BOXX Insurance and Neal Jardine to Global Cyber Intelligence and Claims Officer.

Under his leadership, BOXX aims to accelerate its growth in Canada, focusing on expanding its Cyberboxx® product suite and strengthening its position as the homegrown leader of all-in-one cyber insurance products and protection services amongst brokers, MGAs and affinities.

“I’m excited to take on this exciting new role at BOXX,” said Weekes. “Phil and the team have built an incredible foundation and I look forward to building upon it to drive BOXX’s next phase of growth and innovation in the Canadian cyber market.”

In addition, BOXX has appointed Neal Jardine to Chief Cyber Intelligence & Claims Officer confirming his Global responsibilities at BOXX. Having joined in 2022, Neal has been instrumental in developing BOXX’s market-leading PREDICT PREVENT and INSURE approach, which uses BOXX’s real-time technology to keep customers ahead of digital threats and is there to respond to a cyber incident.

“I look forward to working with our global Presidents and executives to expand BOXX’s reach internationally. Our proprietary technology and commitment to create real, positive changes for our clients and partners are making the digital world safer and simpler for businesses and families,” said Jardine.

“Neal and the Hackbusters team have been pivotal in helping BOXX differentiate our offerings amongst brokers and their clients by actively reducing our clients’ risk profiles and being on the ground to reduce the fallout of an attack, should it occur,” said Kundi. “I’m very excited about the innovation that we continue to bring to further enhance our approach to claims and cyber intelligence,” he continued.

Published

2 hours ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
