Delphine Maisonneuve, chief executive of AXA Brazil who has been with the Paris-headquartered insurance group for more than 27 years, will be taking on a “new important challenge” come January.
Reporting to AXA International & New Markets CEO Benoît Claveranne, Maisonneuve is replacing Guillaume Borie as group chief innovation officer and AXA Next chief executive.

“I have experienced Delphine’s drive and capacity to foster collaboration and accelerate business results at AXA Brazil, and I am convinced that under her leadership our innovation teams will further deepen their ability to build innovative services and offers for our clients.”
Maisonneuve has been at the helm of AXA Brazil since 2018. Her previous positions include head of distribution strategy and operational marketing at AXA Spain as well as sales & distribution director at AXA France.
