AXIS hires reinsurance CUO from AIG

AXIS Re, the reinsurance arm of Bermuda-based AXIS Capital Holdings, has appointed AIG's Megan Thomas as chief underwriting officer, responsible for product and portfolio management within AXIS Re.

Thomas will be based in New York and will join the reinsurance leadership team, reporting directly to AXIS Re CEO Steve Arora.

Prior to joining AXIS, Thomas spent 12 years at AIG, where she advanced to hold multiple CUO positions while working in the company’s New York and Bermuda offices. Most recently, she served as global CUO of liability lines in New York. Prior to that, she held the dual position of CUO and head of AIG cat excess liability, based in Bermuda.

“Megan is a unique leader grounded in industry fundamentals while also forward-looking on the evolving industry and risk landscape," said Arora. "She is a proven CUO who brings deep underwriting experience across multiple global markets. We are excited to welcome her to the leadership team and confident that she will play an important role as we grow a leadership position in the reinsurance market.”
