AXA XL Insurance’s Professional Liability team has announced that it has built out its regional underwriting management structure, by promoting five to Region Leader positions.
The firms new Regional Leaders include Rob Martin, Ed Perry, Katie Konfala, Cara Hardacker, and Brendan Carpenter.
AXA XL’s enhanced Directors & Officers regional teams now include, Rob Martin who joins Greg McCoy and Jason Hawkins with managing Professional Liability business in the AXA XL’s East Zone – the firms largest zone.
At the same time, Brendan Carpenter, joins Nick Carlson and Hank Toolan in managing regional business in the Central Zone, and Katie Konfala and Cara Hardacker are set to team up with Ed Perry to lead growth of AXA XL’s regional book of business in its West Zone.
Tony Giacco, Chief Underwriting Officer for Professional Liability in the Americas, commented: “In building out these regional management teams, we’re focusing resources to give our broker and clients greater access to teams empowered to make underwriting decisions and tailor D&O coverage based on their operating environment. Especially in the current economy, brokers and clients see a lot of value in our collaborative approach, and we believe they will see even more with this enhanced regional structure.
“These Regional Leader promotions are well earned. Collectively, Rob, Ed, Katie, Cara and Brendan have more than 80 years of professional underwriting experience. While market competition continues to intensify, it would be hard for any business to find D&O expertise with the level of experience, attention, and collaboration that these underwriting managers and their regional teams have.”
Earlier this month, it was reported that AXA XL had added Cyber Suite, a cyber and security insurance coverage as an option to its Lawyers’ Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance program.
Meanwhile, last month AXA XL Insurance launched an Underwriting Innovation Office in the Americas.
