He said: “Joining the AXA UK leadership team is an exciting challenge. The business has a strong platform for profitable growth and I look forward to helping the UK group deliver on its ambitions.”

Paul Evans, AXA UK and Ireland group chief executive, said: “I am pleased to welcome Bertrand as our CFO. He brings a wealth of experience to the AXA UK board and executive committee.

“I would like to thank Jean Drouffe for his professional and dedicated stewardship of the UK finance function since 2010 – a challenging period during which we have successfully refocused and restored the profitability of the AXA UK business.”
