AXIS Capital Holdings Limited has announced the launch of AXIS Capacity Solutions, a new business unit focused on structured and multi-line portfolio capacity deals. The company stated that these deals will be offered on both facilitated and delegated bases. David Murie has been appointed as Head of AXIS Capacity Solutions. He will report to Dan Draper, Group Chief Underwriting Officer, and will work from the London office.
Vince Tizzio, President and CEO of AXIS, said, “The creation of AXIS Capacity Solutions is designed to support our distribution partners while directly addressing an increasing trend across the Global specialty insurance market. Multi-line facilities are growing at a faster pace than the broader insurance market, reflecting a widening market share being placed through these structures, a trend that we expect will only increase.”
Dan Draper added, “Through AXIS Capacity Solutions we will work in tandem with our strategic partners to develop and source multi-line portfolio structures at scale, leveraging our expertise and global underwriting platform including our licensing footprint at Lloyd’s. In David, we have an excellent leader to guide AXIS Capacity Solutions who brings a strong mix of experience spanning underwriting portfolio management, strategic sourcing and deal structuring, and regulatory and compliance acumen.”

At AXIS he previously served as Global Head of Underwriting Governance & Execution and Chief of Staff to the Group CUO; Head of Business Performance for International Insurance (now Global Markets); and Head of FP&A for International Insurance.
