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, a division of Axa SA, on Monday announced its new Americas leadership team, following a realignment of its operations announced in April.

All three executives report to Joe Tocco, CEO for the Americas.

Ms. Nadeau will also report to Nancy Bewlay, who was previously announced as global chief underwriting officer, a spokeswoman said in an email.

Axa XL also announced zonal leadership appointments for the three U.S. zones – East, Central and West – created by the insurer’s new regional structure. 

Matt O’Malley will head the East, based in New York. He most recently managed Axa XL’s casualty excess and surplus and environmental business in the U.S., the statement said.

Todd Sutherland will head the Central zone, based in Chicago. He was most recently North Central regional leader.
