successful acquisition and integration of specialty aviation insurer and reinsurer Aviabel,” said Mr. Wilson. “He is a highly
respected leader within our organization and someone who embodies AXIS’ values and culture, including our entrepreneurial mindset
and performance-driven approach.”
“AXIS has made significant investments in our operations and infrastructure that will help further position our business for

insurance,” said Mr. Hartman. “I look forward to continuing to work alongside my AXIS colleagues to further optimize our operations
to be market responsive and strengthen strategic relationships with clients, distributors and risk transfer partners.”
