A former resident of Bermuda has been appointed chief financial officer at Axa XL Canada.

Patrick Lee, who is based in Toronto, joins Canada's executive leadership team.

Country manager Renato Rodrigues said: "It is great to see one of our own team members step into this position. Patrick is a great new addition to our leadership team here in Canada and will bring tried-and-true management to our finance team."

Mr Lee joined Axa XL Canada's finance management team as finance manager in 2018. In 2021, he was promoted to senior finance manager and now takes on the CFO role from Ryan Ho.

Before joining the company, Mr Lee served in several assurance roles at PwC Bermuda, spending nearly six years at the financial services firm on the island before departing in mid-2018.
