Anish Jadav, who has been chief underwriting officer of Zurich Insurance Ireland since 2018, is moving to the property & casualty and specialty risk division of AXA in July.

In a release, AXA XL said Jadav will be in charge of developing and executing the division’s retail P&C underwriting strategy and optimising product offering and profitability in his capacity as CUO of retail property & casualty for the UK and Lloyd’s market.

“Today, global businesses are faced with an increasingly complex international trading environment, and having the right insurance partner has never been so important,” commented UK & Lloyd’s market chief underwriting officer Luis Prato.

“I’m delighted that Anish will be joining the retail P&C team at AXA XL. As we continue to bring our value proposition to life, his extensive underwriting and management experience will be a tremendous asset in supporting clients to manage the risks they face today and in the future.”

Jadav, whose credentials also include time spent at Zurich’s British and Asian operations, will be leading a team of AXA XL underwriters in London.
