Bobbie Condell joins AXIS as lead underwriter for small specialty commercial business

AXIS Insurance has hired Bobbie Condell as underwriting lead for small specialty commercial business.

Condell has more than 23 years of underwriting and portfolio management experience across commercial and professional lines. She joins from Markel Insurance where she was director of underwriting for its programmes division, before which she was a product line manager at AIG Insurance for multi-line admitted and non-admitted insurance programmes.

She has also worked for Travelers Insurance Company as a second vice president underwriter for workers’ compensation and as a national director for commercial multi-line insurance programmes at Lexington Insurance. She has also held underwriting positions at Liberty Mutual Insurance, Utica National Insurance and The Hartford.

In her new role Condell focuses on underwriting analysis and portfolio management as part of the development of the  recently launched AXIS home based business product, which offers customised coverage for US small business owners who conduct business from their homes. She reports to Jill Bryant, head of small specialty commercial at AXIS Insurance.

Bryant noted that home-based businesses have specific needs in the small business insurance market. “We’re giving these business owners the coverage they need, and the simplicity they want,” she said.
