There will be no impact to existing customers. The entity will continue to operate as a specialty MGU with its staff and principal office located in Phoenix, AZ. The new team, which will sit within the AXIS Accident & Health division, provides a platform upon which to service distribution partners and customers with new and enhanced products and services in the group benefits space. The first product under the new name is expected to be announced later this year.
Doug Hayes, head of Ternian Insurance Group, will lead AXIS Group Benefits, and will continue to report to James Hamilton, Global Head of Accident and Health at AXIS. Dominick Zenzola will lead underwriting operations and William Kramer will serve as Head of Sales.
Mr. Hamilton commented, “As the benefits and corporate accident landscape continues to evolve, AXIS Group Benefits will provide brokers and policyholders with customer-centric solutions and outstanding levels of service through a growing suite of products and services – all backed by the security of an A rated global carrier.
“The combined strength and expertise of the team under Doug’s leadership, gives us a strong platform to help us identify new opportunities and grow as we look to expand our footprint in the employer and association benefits space.”
