AXA XL has promoted three people to newly created zonal manager roles within its design professional insurance business.
The insurer says that the move will help it align its underwriting teams more closely within its US regional operating model. The promotions include the appointments of Bob McLucas to east zone manager, Keilan King to west zone manager, and Jeff Statham as central zone manager.
Nicole Mangino, head of underwriting for design professional at AXA XL, said: “Our design professional team has a long history of working closely with brokers and design service clients to provide insurance and loss prevention education that helps clients manage their professional risks. Now, in closely aligning with our zonal teams, we’re getting even closer to our broker partners and insureds, while at the same time, giving them more convenient access to AXA XL’s whole team of multi-line insurance and risk management resources in the region.”
A statement from the insurer outlined the experience that each brings to their new role. McLucas has twenty-five years of underwriting experience. As east zone manager, he will assume underwriting management responsibility for design firms up and down the East coast. King has been an underwriter since 2014, and joined the design professional team last year. Based in Denver, and in her new role, she will work with the zonal underwriting team to address the insurance needs of our brokers and design firms throughout the Western US. Statham, meanwhile, joined the design professional team as an underwriting manager in 2014. He will manage the underwriting team in the mid-west as well as working with broker partners and large clients in his role as the central zone manager.
The AXA XL design professional team serves architects, engineers, and other design service professionals by providing flexible, tailored insurance coverage solutions that protect design firms.
