Controlled insurance programs, also known as wrap-ups, can help contractors or project owners gain consistent coverage, reduce insurance costs and consolidate the claims management process for multiple contractors on a project, AXA XL said.
Baron’s promotion is AXA XL’s latest move to bolster its North America construction business. Early this year, the company launched the Innovators’ Circle, a consortium of construction innovation leaders that aimed at determining best practices to speed the innovation and adoption of construction technology. In December 2020, the company appointed Rose Hall to the newly created role of head of construction innovation.
