AXA has named Gérald Harlin as chief financial officer and said Axa France CEO Francois Pierson will head all of Axa’s property & casualty business.
Christopher Condron, CEO of Axa Financial in the US will head all life insurance and savings businesses.
“We chose to create global roles to oversee P&C insurance and Life & Savings so that our customers can benefit more quickly from the wide range and high quality of our expertise.
“With their experience, in-depth knowledge of the Group and insurance, and personal qualities, I am sure that François and Kip will succeed in accelerating AXA’s growth in both these sectors,” said Henri de Castries, Chairman of AXA’s Management Board.
