AXIS Re taps Tokio Millennium Re's Julian as first chief pricing actuary

AXIS Re, the reinsurance business segment of Bermuda-based AXIS Capital Holdings, has appointed Mark Julian to the newly created position of chief pricing actuary.

Julian will oversee AXIS Re’s actuarial pricing and catastrophe modeling teams, which have been combined into a new reinsurance pricing operational division. He will be based in the company’s London office and will be a member of the reinsurance leadership team. He will report to AXIS Re CEO Steve Arora.

Julian joins AXIS Re from Tokio Millennium Re, where he was most recently CEO and head of branch for its UK business. Previously, he served as group head of pricing, leading a global team of 45 pricing actuaries and catastrophe modelers, and prior to that he was the company’s UK chief actuary and chief risk officer. Julian joined Tokio Millennium Re from SVB/Novae where he was deputy group actuary. He began his P&C re/insurance career as an actuary at PwC and Equitas.

“Mark is an accomplished reinsurance leader, possessing both breadth in experience and depth in the actuarial and catastrophe modeling functions,” said Arora. “His technical leadership will make us stronger, and I am excited about the elevation of this function within our organisation.”
