Global insurer AXA has announced that Irene Dorner has been appointed Chairwoman of the company’s Audit Committee, following the death of Stefan Lippe, director of the company and Chairman of the Audit Committee.
Upon the recommendation of AXA’s Compensation & Governance Committee, the insurance giant’s Board of Directors chose to designate Dorner, director of the company and member of the Audit Committee, as Chairwoman of the Audit Committee.
Dorner has served as company director and member of the Audit Committee since April 2016, and should remain as Chairwoman for approximately one year.
In addition, and again upon recommendation of the Compensation & Governance Committee, AXA’s Board of Directors also decided to propose to the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 30th, to renew Dorner’s mandate as a member of the Board.
Chairman of the Board of Directors of AXA, Denis Duverne, said: “I would like to thank Irene Dorner, member of the Audit Committee for the last four years, who has agreed to take over Stefan Lippe’s position as Chairwoman of the Audit Committee, and to propose the renewal of her mandate as director at our next Shareholders’ Meeting. I am glad that the Board continues to benefit from her expertise and experience.”
