AXA XL bolsters US marine leadership with CNA hire

Re/insurer AXA XL has boosted the experience in its US marine team with the addition of CNA's Brett Musser who brings more than 15 years of marine underwriting experience to the company.

Musser joins AXA XL as the central US zonal marine product leader, based in Chicago. He will also serve as marine liabilities product manager, focused on developing tailored insurance solutions for specialised marine businesses.

Musser comes from CNA where he was an ocean marine zone/product director and built out a national marina & boat dealer programme.

Ann Marie Elder, AXA XL's global chief underwriting officer for marine, said: "The Central region of the US, including Chicago and the Great Lakes region, is a very active region for the marine industry. To help us serve our existing clients and take advantage of growth opportunities in the region, we're excited to see Brett join our team.

"Brett's Hull and Liabilities experience and his relationships with independent agents will be critical as we look to develop and deliver insurance solutions tailored to meet the marine industry's unique and challenging risks."

Stephen Clark, head of hull & liabilities in North America, added: "Meeting the insurance needs of many specialized classes of marine business requires industry experience and technical underwriting skill. Brett brings a solid track record in building profitable books of marine business."
