AXA XL taps 10-year company vet to drive ‘sustainable’ underwriting profitability

Re/insurer  AXA XL has tapped an in-house talent who has been with the business (then Catlin) for more than 10 years to help execute its regional underwriting strategy and deliver “sustainable” results in the UK and London market.

Stephanie Coxall has been promoted to head of underwriting management, UK & Lloyd’s.

In her new role, Coxall will be responsible for supporting AXA XL’s chief underwriting officer (CUO), UK & Lloyd’s, in executing the regional underwriting strategy and ensuring continued profitability.

Coxall began her career with NFU Mutual before joining the business (then Catlin) in 2012, where she progressed through several underwriting positions. Most recently, she held a global learning & development role, responsible for leading the AXA XL Academies for Underwriting, Claims and Reinsurance.

Luis Prato, CUO, UK & Lloyd’s, said: “As we progress on our journey to deliver sustainable underwriting results and move forward with our growth plans, it's critical that we continue to implement consistent underwriting standards, practices and procedures as well as robust governance controls.

“Stephanie has extensive industry experience and has spent 10 years working for AXA XL and its previous iterations. Her knowledge and understanding of the business will be a great asset to the UK & Lloyd’s business unit as we work to deliver our goals. I’m delighted to welcome Stephanie to her new role."
