AXA XL creates new head of energy transition role

AXA XL has appointed Vicky Roberts-Mills as head of energy transition to help clients as they transition to net zero.

In the newly created role, Roberts-Mills will develop AXA XL’s global energy transition strategy. She will bring together the full capabilities of both AXA XL and AXA group, the French insurer said.

Roberts-Mills was previously offshore renewables leader at Aon, leading the London renewables business line. Before that she was at BP for 18 years, where she led the global insurance and risk management team.

Roberts-Mills will join AXA XL later this year.

Sean McGovern, CEO of UK and Lloyd’s at AXA XL, said: “Vicky’s appointment is an important step in ensuring we are in the best position to help our clients transition to net zero, leveraging our full suite of products, services and insights. Her extensive global insurance and risk management experience, combined with her knowledge of being client-side places her in a unique position to understand our insureds’ perspective and bring the very best of AXA to those clients and partner with them through their transition.”

“This is an important strategic initiative for us and I am delighted to welcome Vicky to the team,” he added.
