appointed as its future Head of Global Markets. She succeeds Mark
Gregory who will retire from the Company in March of 2025 following
a career that spans five decades in the industry including 15 years
with AXIS. During his time with AXIS, Mr. Gregory has been
instrumental in helping grow the Company’s global presence as a
specialty insurance leader.
Ms. Mitchell, who previously served as Divisional President of
Chubb’s Continental Europe and MENA business, will join the Company

Mitchell, who will be based in London, will assume the role of Head
of Global Markets on January 1, 2025 as part of a planned
leadership succession process and will report to AXIS President and
CEO Vince Tizzio.
“We are grateful to Mark for his tremendous leadership and years
of service to AXIS. He has played a crucial role in helping elevate
AXIS as a global specialty leader,” said Mr. Tizzio. “Under his
guidance, we achieved a number of important milestones including
the establishment of the AXIS Managing Agency at Lloyd’s with Mark
serving as its first CEO, launch of AXIS Energy Transition
Syndicate 2050, effective integration of Novae into AXIS, and
establishment of AXIS as a top ten player at Lloyd’s by capacity,
with recognition as an outperforming syndicate.”
Mr. Gregory joined AXIS in January of 2010 as CEO of its
International Division and is presently a member of the Company’s
Executive Committee in his current role as Head of Global Markets,
where he has led the division since its formation. Prior to AXIS,
Mr. Gregory spent 15 years at Marsh where he held a series of
leadership positions including CEO roles for both Bowring Marsh and
Marsh Global Markets. He started his insurance career with Sedgwick
Group in 1980. In addition, Mr. Gregory has served on the Boards of
both the International Underwriting Association (IUA) and Lloyd’s
Market Association (LMA).
Added Mr. Tizzio, “In Sara, we have found an exceptional leader
to succeed Mark. We are excited about transitioning AXIS into a new
chapter, building on the strong foundation that is already in place
for our Global Markets division. Sara brings deep specialty P&C
knowledge and an expansive international pedigree with experience
managing multi-billion dollar businesses. She is a proven leader
with an established track record for success, who shares our
values.”
Ms. Mitchell joins AXIS following a 13-year tenure at Chubb
where she held a series of leadership roles with increasing levels
of responsibility. Since 2021, in her role as Divisional President
