AXA XL unveils chief client & distribution officer role

AXA XL has created a new role of chief client & distribution officer for the Americas, a role that includes some oversight of Bermuda.

Matthew O’Malley will lead AXA XL’s US zonal teams, Canada and Bermuda country distribution, client engagement, broker engagement, and marketing activities in the Americas. 

O’Malley most recently, he served as AXA XL’s US Country Manager, assuming broader oversight of AXA XL’s collective business activity in the US Insurance Market. Previously, he led AXA XL’s North America Environmental insurance business for eight years and later also took on the underwriting management responsibility of our E&S Casualty business.

He will report to Lucy Pilko, the region’s CEO and Manuel Meier, AXA XL’s chief client officer.

Pilko said: “Our growth plans revolve around helping our clients grow and succeed. To do so, we’re structuring ourselves to take a more client-centric approach than ever before, and Matt’s new role will play an integral part in this approach. With his collaborative leadership style, focus on data and analytics, and steadfast commitment to clients, Matt is well prepared for his new responsibilities including liaising with our clients to assure we’re delivering the right solutions and substantially more value beyond the insurance we provide.”

Meier added: “Close, collaborative client relationships give us the insights we need to develop products and services tailored to our clients’ needs and risk challenges. Matt will be a valuable resource to both our clients, boosting their awareness of all that AXA XL has to offer, and our internal teams, helping us develop a deeper understanding of our clients’ unique needs so we can continue to develop and deliver innovative insurance and risk management solutions that matter most to them.”
