Subject to regulatory approval, Moquet is replacing Amelie Breitburd. The latter, who was CFO for AXA Asia prior to moving to the UK & Ireland team, is leaving the insurer. No further details have been provided.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Amelie Breitburd for all her support, not just at AXA UK & Ireland but across her many years in the group,” said AXA UK & Ireland chief executive Claudio Gienal. “I wish her every success in the future.”
Meanwhile AXA UK & Ireland will see the promotion of chief of staff Amber Wilkinson (pictured below), whose previous roles include AXA PPP Healthcare finance director and AXA UK head of M&A (mergers and acquisitions).
Coming onboard the management committee, Wilkinson will become director of strategy, brand, and communications.
Gienal commented: “I am delighted that Amber and Roland are joining the AXA UK & Ireland management committee. Amber led our successful Beyond 2020 strategic review last year and will continue to oversee strategy as well as brand and communications as an important part of the management committee.
“I am also pleased to welcome Roland, who will bring operational experience and strategic thinking to his new role.”
Moquet moved to AXA from the French Treasury in 2005 and has held various positions within the group such as CFO of AXA Tianping in China. In Italy, he has been heavily involved in the launch of the business’s 2023 strategy.
