AXIS Re, the reinsurance business segment of Bermuda-based AXIS Capital Holdings, has hired Kavan Tucker to its global markets team as a senior mortgage underwriter.

Tucker will be responsible for developing and maintaining a profitable mortgage book of business, with a focus on US Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) and mortgage insurer transactions, while also fostering key client and broker relationships.

He joins AXIS Re most recently from an ILS re/insurance platform start-up and brings experience from companies such as AXA XL, AmTrust Financial and Flagstone Re.

He will work from AXIS Re’s Bermuda office.

Ann Haugh, global markets president for AXIS Re, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Kavan Tucker to AXIS Re, Global Markets. Kavan brings nearly 20 years of industry experience to AXIS Re with a background in mortgage as well as specialty, property, and ILS. His track record in specialty underwriting and experience in mortgage reinsurance will be a valuable asset to our team as we continue to drive our strategy forward and further grow and build on this portfolio.”
