AXA XL appoints head of mid-market, APAC & Europe

Re/insurer  AXA XL has made a new appointment to bolster its mid-market presence in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

AXA XL has appointed Laëtitia Lebas (pictured) as head of mid-market, APAC & Europe.

In her new role, Lebas will lead the implementation of AXA XL’s mid-market strategy in Europe, Asia and Australia. She will work in close partnership with AXA XL’s regional teams and local leadership, and AXA’s local general insurance entities.

Lebas joined AXA France in 2012 as global account manager for AXA Santé Collective. She then became international sales director for AXA creditor and, later on, regional director, Western Europe and legal representative for Genworth entities in France. She joined the executive committee of AXA partners France in 2017 and was appointed as sales director for credit lifestyle protection and motor and banking assistance.

Julien Guénot, regional manager, Southern Europe at AXA XL and executive sponsor for the division’s APAC & Europe mid-market initiative, commented: “Our leadership in the large commercial property, casualty and specialty insurance markets is well established. Building on our knowledge of working with large corporations to bring our expertise to larger mid-market clients, in collaboration with other AXA entities, is a clear opportunity.”

He added: “Laëtitia is a seasoned insurance professional with a proven track record within AXA. She has the right expertise and experience to successfully collaborate with teams across the company to build out our capabilities and mid-market offering.”
