Axis Capital Holdings Ltd. on Thursday said it has hired former Chubb Ltd. executive Tony Jordan as group chief actuary.

He replaces Eric Gesick, who became the company’s group chief underwriting officer in 2018, according to an Axis spokesman.

Mr. Jordan was most recently chief actuary, Europe, Eurasia and Africa for Chubb, Axis said in a statement.

He will have oversight of the company’s corporate actuarial function including reserving functions, capital modeling and investment risk, which will include integrating the information, insights and analytics across these functional responsibilities to provide guidance to the company’s business units, the statement said. He will also oversee the company’s group reserve committee.

Mr. Jordan will be based in the company’s London office and report to Pete Vogt, group chief financial officer.
