In his new role, Mr. Jadav will be responsible for developing and executing AXA XL's retail property-casualty underwriting strategy and optimizing product offerings and profitability. He will lead a team of underwriters in London and report to Luis Prato, chief underwriting officer, UK and Lloyd's market.

"Today, global businesses are faced with an increasingly complex international trading environment, and having the right insurance partner has never been so important," Mr. Prato said in a statement.
