AXA XL, the property & casualty and specialty risk division of AXA, has appointed Matthew O’Malley as its US Country Manager.
O’Malley will report to Joe Tocco, Chief Executive Officer of AXA XL’s Americas region.
With over 25 years of experience in the insurance industry, O’Malley has held numerous underwriting and management positions.
Most recently, he led AXA XL’s North America Environmental insurance business for eight years and later also took on the underwriting management responsibility of our E&S Casualty business.
Tocco said: “Our new regionally focus has been well received by our brokers and clients and we’re already realising greater efficiency in the delivery of our multi-line insurance coverages. This is in large part to Matt, Todd and Mike’s effective team building and strategic implementation that got our new structure up and running quickly and effectively.”
“In this country management role, Matt will make sure that we’re taking advantage of our Zonal structure as well as combined efforts across our Zones. With his collaborative leadership style, attention to data and analytics, and his underwriting management experience, Matt is well prepared to help us keep an eye on our regional activity and ‘the big picture’ as we continue to build AXA XL’s reputation in the US market.”
