Bermudian-based Axis Capital Holdings Ltd has appointed Anna Tan as head of Wholesale Casualty.

Reporting to Michael McKenna, head of North America, she will lead the Primary & Excess Wholesale Casualty teams in advancing their business objectives.

The company said Ms Tan would play a pivotal role in elevating the position of Axis in the US wholesale casualty market in alignment with the company’s position as a leading specialty insurer.

She joins Axis from Navigators, a brand of The Hartford, where she served for more than 12 years, most recently as head of Excess Casualty.

Before that, Ms Tan spent almost eight years at Starr Insurance Companies in underwriting and management positions.
