BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Axis Re snags AIG executive as chief underwriting officer

Axis Re, the Pembroke, Bermuda-based reinsurance unit of Axis Capital Holdings Ltd., has named Megan Thomas, previously with American International Group Inc., as its chief underwriting officer, Axis Capital said in a statement Wednesday.

This is a newly created position in which Ms. Thomas will work alongside Axis Re regional presidents to support them on product and portfolio management, a spokesman for the company said in an email.

She will be based in New York and report to Axis Re CEO Steve Arora, to whom the regional presidents also report, the spokesman said. She will also join the reinsurance leadership team, the statement said.

Prior to serving as global chief underwriting officer of liability lines for AIG in New York, she was chief underwriting officer and head of AIG catastrophe excess liability in Bermuda.

“Megan is a unique leader grounded in industry fundamentals while also forward-looking on the evolving industry and risk landscape,” Mr. Arora said in the statement. “She is a proven CUO who brings deep underwriting experience across multiple global markets.”
