Global practice leader for art
AXA XL
After receiving degrees in art history and economics, Jennifer Schipf was searching for a career that combined her interests in both art and business. She was recruited by a family friend working for an independent claims adjuster for the Lloyd’s market, and she’s been in the industry ever since. As global practice leader for art for AXA XL, Schipf is responsible for the ongoing integration of the legacy XL Catlin art program and the AXA team and sees the transition as an opportunity to “refresh the business through a deep evaluation of what went well for both organizations and where there are opportunities to improve. I truly believe that the combined organization represents the best of both legacy teams,” she says.
Passionate about data and analytics, developing her global team, and providing creative solutions for her clients, Schipf embraces being part of the global art community and is dedicated to preserving and protecting art. She gives back to the art community through the AXA Art Prize, which invites graduate and undergraduate art students to submit their work to be judged by a panel of leading artists. Through the prize, Schipf educates students about career opportunities in the art industry and helps them build networks.
