In his new role, Salter will be responsible for driving the Risk Consulting strategy and value proposition across the globe, working closely with AXA XL’s underwriting and claims teams.
Currently, Salter serves as Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AXA XL Risk Consulting, a position he has held since 2018. He takes over as Head of the division from Corinne Vitrac, who has moved to AXA Group to take on the role of Head of Group P&C Risk Management.

Our remote, tech-enabled capabilities have been extremely well received by clients and now form a key part of our product suite.”
