In this GCP Short, produced in partnership with AXA XL, we discuss bringing innovation in risk mitigation to captive programmes.

While at RISKWORLD in San Diego in May, Richard sat down with friend of pod Steve Bauman, Global Programs & Captives Director for the Americas at AXA XL, and his colleague Rose Hall, senior vice president and head of innovation for the Americas.

Steve and Rose discussed some of the new technologies AXA XL is working with and providing to clients to help mitigate risk across various insurance lines and how these can be particularly complementary on captive programmes.
