AXIS taps Beazley exec to drive data & analytics
AXIS Capital has appointed Rebecca O’Kill as chief data & analytics officer. O’Kill will report to AXIS chief underwriting officer Dan Draper and will be based in London.
O’Kill joins AXIS following 16 years with Beazley, where she held a series of leadership roles with increasing levels of responsibility including interim chief data officer and head of actuarial analytics.
O’Kill has been tasked with driving global data strategy and governance across AXIS, overseeing the company’s analytics operating model, and partnering with the business to deliver business intelligence and insights that help support the underwriting process.
“Rebecca is a proven global leader in data and analytics who brings a deep understanding of driving value in specialty insurance, informed by her actuarial expertise and background,” said Draper. “Her leadership and perspective will be invaluable as we continue to enhance our usage of data and analytics to empower our team and further strengthen the speed and service that we provide to our brokers and customers.”
