AXIS Re has hired Mark Julian as chief pricing actuary to oversee its actuarial pricing and catastrophe modeling teams.

The teams in question have been combined into a new reinsurance pricing operational division, with Julian providing oversight from his base in the London office. He will also serve as a member of the reinsurance leadership team, and will report to AXIS Re CEO Steve Arora when he takes up his post on April 20.

Julian joins AXIS Re from Tokio Millennium Re, where he was most recently CEO and head of branch for its UK business. Before that he served as group head of pricing, leading a global team of 45 pricing actuaries and catastrophe modelers, while he has also served as the company’s UK chief actuary and chief risk officer. He joined Tokio Millennium Re from SVB/Novae where he was deputy group actuary, having started his P&C re/insurance career as an actuary at PwC and Equitas.

Arora described Julian as “an accomplished reinsurance leader, possessing both breadth in experience and depth in the actuarial and catastrophe modeling functions.”
