AXA XL insurance has announced the appointment of Dan Curran as Chief Underwriting Officer (CUO) for its property and casualty (P&C) London Market Wholesale business.
Curran takes over the role from Paul Greensmith, who was recently appointed as regional leader for the UK to help shape the new division as part of the AXA and XL integration project.
Greensmith has also been named as UK Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Catlin Underwriting Agencies Ltd and XL Catlin Insurance Company UK Limited.
Curran has served as Head of Casualty Wholesale since the reorganisation of XL Catlin’s target operating model in October.
In 2012, he was appointed as Head of Casualty at Catlin, before assuming responsibility for the UK and Ireland Casualty portfolios in 2015, including General Liability, US Healthcare, Employers’ Liability and Motor Liability.
Neil Robertson, Chief Executive for Global Specialty, commented on the appointment: “I am extremely pleased that Dan has assumed responsibility for our London-based property & casualty wholesale business, which is a considerable and important part of our operations at Lloyd’s.
“He started his career some 20 years ago as an Underwriting Assistant on the Healthcare Professional Liability account at Catlin, and today his extensive knowledge and expertise positons him ideally to lead this part of our business.”
