New CEO of AXIS Specialty Europe unveiled
AXIS Capital Holdings has appointed Fintan Mullarkey as CEO of AXIS Specialty Europe (ASE), subject to regulatory approval. He succeeds Helen O’Sullivan, who was named group treasurer for AXIS Capital in January. She remains a director of ASE and AXIS Re.
ASE is AXIS Capital’s Specialty Insurance legal entity domiciled in Ireland and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, with branches in Belgium and the UK.
In this role, Mullarkey will be responsible for ASE and the legal entity aspects of its branches. Mullarkey will also join the board of directors of ASE.
“Fintan has been with AXIS for 18 years and he brings extensive experience in international insurance and global operations, and the financial, regulatory and leadership capabilities necessary to manage a highly regulated legal entity such as ASE,” said AXIS Capital CFO Pete Vogt.
Mullarkey has served as head of finance for ASE and AXIS Re for the past 10 years. He is also a non-executive director of AXIS Managing Agency.
He will continue to be based in Dublin.
