AXA XL, the property-casualty and specialty risk division of AXA, has hired Russell Caminske and Ryan Larson as client relationship leaders (CRLs) in the US.
Caminske, who has more than 20 years of experience, was appointed East Zone CRL, while Larson, who has more than 15 years of experience, will serve as West Zone CRL.
Both Caminske and Larson will be key contacts and access points for the company’s clients throughout the Eastern and Western US, the company said. They will also be responsible for regional client management, sales and distribution across all of the company’s insurance lines.
Caminske most recently served as executive client director for the Northeast Zone at American International Group. Maria Duhart, AXA XL’s head of client distribution in the East, said that Caminske will become a valuable addition to the team, with his experience expected to help drive the company’s growth initiatives in the region.
Larson previously held roles at Gallagher Bassett Services, Marsh & McLennan Companies and ACE ESIS. He will be instrumental in cultivating long-term client relationships across the western states, said Mike Soper, AXA XL head of client distribution in the West.
Last month, AXA XL appointed Matthew Teehan as senior underwriter as part of the company’s commitment to delivering multinational services to clients in the middle market space. This, after the company announced it has launched a new cyber insurance endorsement designed to provide construction firms in the US with enhanced protection against the current cyber threats landscape.
