AXA XL Re is in growth mode post-rebalancing its portfolio: new CEO Guidée

After a period of change and rebalancing its portfolio,  AXA XL Reinsurance is in growth mode—and sees specific opportunity in specialty lines, Renaud Guidée (pictured), the chief executive of AXA XL Reinsurance since just September 1, told Intelligent Insurer.

“AXA XL Re, alongside the rest of the reinsurance marketplace, has gone through a fundamental shift in the past 12 months,” Guidée said. “But the positive action taken by the team to re-balance the portfolio and to support clients on a multi-line basis for cat risk was the right decision at the time. The proactive communication from the teams and the transparency with brokers and cedants helped.
