In her new function, Hall will report back to Donna Nadeau, chief underwriting officer for the Americas at AXA XL.
“Rose has played a key role in turning a business-led initiative, like our construction ecosystem, into a broad-reaching service enhancement available to our clients,” Nadeau stated. “In her new role, she’ll be providing leadership and direction in the future development and implementation of ecosystems, technology solutions, and enhanced customer service initiatives. We’re not innovating for innovation’s sake. We’re innovating so that we can create new products to address our clients’ unanswered business challenges. We’re innovating to find new ways to help them curb the rising cost of risk.”
Hall joined AXA XL in 2015 as a building threat engineer and most just lately served as vice chairman and head of building innovation. Before becoming a member of AXA XL, she labored as a advisor offering litigation help and skilled witness testimony companies on construction-related claims and authorized issues. She spent the primary decade of her profession within the building trade.
