Etienne Champion, Chief Underwriting Officer, APAC & Europe at AXA XL, commented: “Interest in captives has risen sharply over the last three years, with our clients either owning, growing or looking to open a captive. They are a strategic risk management tool for our clients and an area of growth for our business.”

She is recognised for her expertise in Europe and beyond, and expanding her role to APAC means our Asia and Australia clients will benefit from additional resources and capabilities for managing their complex risks.”
