AXA XL has appointed Glen Hopkinson as the new country manager for Canada, effective immediately.
Hopkinson has been with AXA XL for over 10 years, having held various leadership roles, including head of claims in Canada, transformation program director, and most recently head of casualty claims for the Americas.
“Glen's extensive insurance expertise, paired with his commitment to providing the highest service to our clients, and his reputation as a thoughtful team manager, make him the ideal candidate to lead the implementation of our growth strategy in the Canadian market,” said AXA XL CEO Americas Joe Tocco.
Hopkinson has been serving as the interim leader in recent months, with previous AXA XL Canada country manager Renato Rodrigues having moved to Everest Insurance.
Hopkinson will be based in Toronto, overseeing AXA XL's other regional offices in Calgary, Montreal, and Vancouver. He will also work closely with the Americas executive leadership to ensure strategic alignment and seamless service to local and multinational clients.
“I am truly excited about the chance to lead our exceptionally skilled team of underwriters and claims experts in effectively meeting the risk needs of our broker and client community. As I take on this new role, I eagerly anticipate engaging with our brokers and partners to further strengthen our business partnerships throughout Canada,” Hopkinson said.
