AXA XL taps ex-Lloyd's/Marsh exec for specialty risk business in US

Re/insurer  AXA XL has bolstered its crisis management and specialty risk business unit with the hiring of a senior underwriter for war, terrorism and political violence in the US.

Based in Atlanta, Francisco Arias will be responsible for upholding the underwriting excellence and profitability of the book of business, implementing strategy and best practices, and maintaining key broker and client relationships. She will report to Morgan Shrubb, head of terrorism in the US.

Arias began his insurance career as a graduate trainee at Aspen Insurance rotating across departments including energy and construction underwriting, audit, environmental claims and crisis management underwriting. He has also spent time in London with terrorism underwriters at Lloyd's and as a terrorism underwriter in the US and Latin America markets. Most recently, he served as a K&R business development and as facultative reinsurance broker in Latin America and the Caribbean for Marsh.

Shrubb said: "Francisco brings specialized knowledge and excellent underwriting skills. Given the global nature of our clients' needs, his experience across multiple international markets is a great asset to our growing team."
