Ep 64 Sean McGovern CEO of AXA XL UK and Lloyd’s: Re-set and re-launch

Today’s podcast is a meeting with a senior market figure most of
us have known for many years.


Sean McGovern served in different board level capacities at
Lloyd’s for just over 2 decades, before leaving to join the then
XL Catlin in 2016 ahead of its 2018 acquisition by AXA.


Last summer he was made CEO of AXA XL’s UK and Lloyd’s business –
the first time he has held a CEO post.


This interview is all about his plans for the role now that the
difficult remedial actions aimed at turning around the large
London Market insurer’s underwriting performance have been taken
and market conditions have taken a decisive turn for the better.


As a veteran Lloyd’s spokesperson Sean has been in the public eye
for many years and in this encounter I found him easy-going,
relaxed and excited to be running a major London operation with
the backing of the world’s largest P&C group behind him


Listen on for an insider’s view of the opportunities currently
presenting themselves in the London market.
