Van Hecke will continue to report to Nancy Bewlay, Chief Underwriting Officer of AXA Group, and maintain a matrix reporting line to Scott Gunter, CEO of AXA XL, for AXA XL-related responsibilities.
The new alignment is reportedly underpinned by four strategic objectives: delivering a consistent strategy across all operations, fostering “One AXA” synergy to enhance collaboration and cohesion, streamlining communication for greater efficiency and clarity, and optimising governance to support more effective decision-making and accountability.
Van Hecke concluded, “We believe these changes will not only strengthen our internal operations but also enhance the quality and effectiveness of our partnerships.
“By aligning teams and elevating leadership across key areas, AXA is well-positioned to deliver on its commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and trusted relationships across the global reinsurance landscape.”
