The move forms part of a management reshuffle, announced in December last year.
Benchimol said: “Serving as President and CEO of AXIS has been the highlight of my career. Words cannot express the gratitude that I feel towards my colleagues at AXIS, as well as to our brokers and partners, for their partnership, commitment, and friendship.”
In January 2022, Tizzio assumed the role of senior advisor for Insurance Market Strategy and future Insurance CEO at AXIS, directly reporting to Benchimol.
As of June 2022, Tizzio became the CEO of Specialty Insurance and Reinsurance, with responsibilities for all business lines and front-end operations.
