Bermuda-based insurer and reinsurer, AXIS Capital Holdings Limited, has appointed Lewis Edwards to the newly created role of Head of Delegated Strategy, Global Markets, effective immediately.
In his new role, Edwards will oversee the development and leadership of Global Markets’ portfolios of coverholder and managing general agent business.
Most recently, he was the Head of the Delegated Authority Practice at Liberty Specialty Markets, having served at the firm for seven years in all.
Before this, Edwards held senior underwriting and management positions at Allianz Corporate & Specialty where he spent almost a decade, and positions at AIG and Heath Lambert.
Farrup commented, “Lewis brings stellar market experience and knowledge of the specialty delegated space as well as a deep understanding of how to succeed in a competitive trading environment.
“Developing our delegated portfolio through binding authorities with carefully selected and trusted broker, coverholder, and MGA partnerships, complementary to our open market underwriting strategy, will be key to achieving long-term growth.
“I’m so pleased Lewis will be part of our leadership team as we continue to advance towards our goal of being the lead specialty carrier and delivering solutions that our distribution partners and customers need.”
