AXIS Capital appoints Martin McCarty to global treasurer role

Bermuda-based AXIS Capital Holdings has appointed Martin McCarty as the company’s global treasurer.

In his new role, McCarty will be responsible for overall capital, foreign currency, cash and liquidity management, as well as coordination with ratings agencies on behalf of AXIS Capital.

In addition, he will be responsible for providing finance support to the company’s risk funding unit and servicing its strategic capital partners.

McCarty, who has been with AXIS for 15 years, will report to Peter Vogt, group chief financial officer, and continue to be based in the company’s Alpharetta, Georgia, office.

Since 2004, McCarty has held a progression of finance management positions within AXIS, including head of finance North America and, most recently, global head of finance operations.

“I am excited to be able to fill this role with an internal candidate with such extensive knowledge of AXIS and who can bring such a holistic view of capital to the position,” said Vogt. “I am sure Martin will approach the Global Treasurer role with all the drive, leadership and collaboration he has exhibited throughout his career.”
