Former Axis Re CEO joins National General board
Jay Nichols, the former chief executive officer of Axis Re, has joined New York-based specialty personal lines insurer National General Holdings as an independent member of the board of directors.
Nichols resigned from his position of CEO of Axis Re, a subsidiary of Bermuda-based AXIS Capital Holdings, in February 2017. Prior to joining Axis in April 2012, he served as the president of RenaissanceRe Ventures.
In addition, Nichols has held various positions at Hartford Steam Boiler, Monarch Capital and accounting firm Matson, Driscoll and D’Amico. He currently serves on the board of directors of Delaware North Companies and Baldwin & Lyons.
"Jay is an accomplished insurance executive who we believe will add great value to our Board of Directors," said Barry Karfunkel, National General chief executive officer. "A growing company such as National General will benefit from the insight and counsel his industry experience can provide."
