AXIS Capital Leadership Changes Enhance Global Operations
AXIS Capital Leadership Appointments for Irish Entities
AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (NYSE: AXS) has taken significant steps to enhance its operational leadership. Recently, the company announced key leadership appointments for its Irish legal entities, AXIS Re SE ("ARe") and AXIS Specialty Europe SE ("ASE"). Both entities are based in Ireland and are regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI). This strategic move aims to fortify AXIS Capital's presence in the specialty insurance market.
New Leadership for AXIS Specialty Europe SE
Dax Gulmohamed Appointed as CEO
Dax Gulmohamed has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of ASE, where he will manage the legal entity and its branches located in Belgium and the UK. Transitioning from London to Dublin, Mr. Gulmohamed brings a wealth of experience, having served as ASE's Chief Underwriting Officer from 2016 to 2024. He also held the position of UK Branch Manager for over six years, solidifying his expertise in the field.
Farewell to Fintan Mullarkey
Mr. Gulmohamed steps into this role following Fintan Mullarkey, who leaves after a notable 21-year tenure with AXIS. Mr. Mullarkey was integral to the establishment and expansion of the European Legal Entity platform, serving as its CEO since 2022. His previous role as CFO saw him lead the European business from its inception to becoming a market leader with revenues exceeding $3 billion. Furthermore, he contributed to AXIS Managing Agency as its Director since the company's entry into Lloyd’s operations in 2014.
Words of Appreciation from AXIS Leadership
AXIS CFO Pete Vogt expressed deep gratitude for Mr. Mullarkey’s contributions, highlighting his vital role in the successful growth of the European Specialty Insurance Business. Vogt stated, “Fintan has been a highly valued and trusted member of our European Leadership group for over two decades, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
In welcoming Dax Gulmohamed to his new position, Vogt noted his extensive knowledge and understanding of specialty underwriting and the London market. This continuity of expertise is crucial for AXIS Capital as it moves forward.

John O’Neill Takes the Helm
John O’Neill is now the CEO of ARe, responsible for the Ireland-based legal entity and its Zurich branch. Since joining AXIS in 2016, he has served as Senior Vice President of Life Reinsurance, a role he will maintain alongside his new position as CEO. He is a qualified actuary and a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries in Ireland, further enhancing his fit for this role.
Mark McCormick's Departure After Four Years as CEO
Mark McCormick, the outgoing CEO of ARe, concludes his journey with AXIS after a commendable 14 years, which includes four years as CEO of ARe and a directorial role at ASE. McCormick contributed significantly, overseeing the company’s global reinsurance business and helping it achieve strategic objectives within a $2 billion sector.
Ann Haugh Reflects on Leadership Change
AXIS Re CEO Ann Haugh emphasized the pivotal role Mark played in positioning ARe as a specialist reinsurer, wishing him success in his future endeavors. She noted that John O’Neill’s extensive reinsurance knowledge gained during his nearly three-decade career positions him as a valuable successor.
