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”.

Axa XL restructures E&S leadership

Axa XL, a division of Axa SA, has realigned its excess and surplus casualty insurance business and named Ankur Chokshi to be head of its E&S primary casualty business and brokerage and binding authority business, the insurer said Tuesday.

Before being named to his new position as head of E&S primary casualty, the Chicago-based Mr. Chokshi was previously E&S central region vice president.

In his new position as head of brokerage and binding authority, Mr. Chokshi replaces Karl Fischbach, who continues in his role as New York-based wholesale broker, programs and binding relationship leader. 

In addition to his ongoing responsibilities, Mr. Fischbach will focus on developing the company’s small to medium commercial business, the insurer said in its statement.

In addition, Axa XL said Kimberly Smid will lead the insurer’s excess casualty E&S business, a new position. The New York-based Ms. Smid previously served as E&S underwriting manager for QBE Insurance Group Ltd., leading its national excess casualty team.
