AXA XL, the property & casualty and specialty risk division of AXA, has announced the appointment of Mike Gosselin as chief underwriting officer for the UK & Lloyd’s.

Subject to regulatory approval, Gosselin will take charge of the division’s underwriting strategy and portfolio performance across its Lloyd’s and company market platforms in the UK.

Prior to joining AXA XL, Gosselin was the global leader for energy & transition risk at Liberty Global Risk Solutions. He also accumulated over two decades of experience at Liberty Specialty Markets, holding diverse positions. At one point he served a seven-year tenure as chief underwriting officer for specialty.

“I am delighted that Mike will be joining my leadership team at an exciting point in our evolution,” said Sean McGovern, UK & Lloyd’s CEO at AXA XL. “He brings extensive underwriting experience which will be invaluable as we progress our growth strategy across our London Market business and across our multinational and mid-market segments.”

Gosselin’s appointment is slated to take effect from April 2024, according to an emailed news release.

In November, AXA XL named Adias Gerbaud as chief underwriting officer for APAC & Europe and XL Insurance Company SE. Meanwhile, Gerbaud’s predecessor, Etienne Champion, was tapped for the position of P&C commercial lines group CUO at AXA Group.
