AXA XL has announced that Matthew V. O’Malley (pictured) will be appointed to the role of chief client & distribution officer for the Americas.
Lucy Pilko, the chief executive officer for the region, expressed the importance of O’Malley’s appointment to the firm’s plans for its growth.
“Our growth plans revolve around helping our clients grow and succeed. To do so, we’re structuring ourselves to take a more client-centric approach than ever before, and Matt’s new role will play an integral part in this approach,” said Pilko.
“With his collaborative leadership style, focus on data and analytics, and steadfast commitment to clients, Matt is well prepared for his new responsibilities including liaising with our clients to assure we’re delivering the right solutions and substantially more value beyond the insurance we provide,” she added.
Who is Matthew V. O’Malley?
O’Malley has been growing his career in the insurance industry for the past 25 years. He began as an analyst in reinsurance accounting for Guy Carpenter before becoming a new business development associate at Cigna P&C.
He grew his career with time in various firms such as ACE USA, Kemper Insurance, United States Liability Insurance Group, New Energy Risk, and Skyward Specialty Insurance before he eventually joined AXA XL as an underwriter and climbed his way up the ranks. Prior to his new role, he was the firm’s US Country Manager.
As the firm’s new chief client & distribution officer for the Americas, O’Malley will be overseeing the firm’s US zonal teams, Canada and Bermuda country distribution, client engagement, broker engagement, and marketing activities in the region. He will also be fostering long-term partnerships by working with clients and distribution partners.
O’Malley will report to Pilko and Manuel Meier, AXA XL’s chief client officer.
“Close, collaborative client relationships give us the insights we need to develop products and services tailored to our clients’ needs and risk challenges,” said Meier.
“Matt will be a valuable resource to both our clients, boosting their awareness of all that AXA XL has to offer, and our internal teams, helping us develop a deeper understanding of our clients’ unique needs so we can continue to develop and deliver innovative insurance and risk management solutions that matter most to them.”
