AXA has elevated Ayman Kandil to the role of Philippines President and CEO, the company announced in a statement on LinkedIn, effective from October 1. He succeeds Bernardo Serrano, who will transition to a new role within AXA.
Kandil brings over 26 years of executive experience in the insurance industry to his new position and has been serving as Chief Distribution Officer at AXA.
“With a deep understanding of our values and vision, Mr. Kandil is perfectly poised to lead the Philippine market,” AXA said in its announcement.
Kandil has previously served as CEO of AXA Egypt, where he oversaw four companies: AXA Egypt Investment, AXA Egypt Life, AXA Egypt Non-Life, and AXA Egypt Services. His tenure at AXA Egypt included the implementation of a ‘one-stop shop’ strategy and a commitment to customer service, impacting over two million individuals and businesses, AXA said.
On Serrano, the insurer said his tenure included setting the stage for sustainable and profitable growth for AXA Philippines and leaving behind a strong leadership team. “His journey with us has been nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to see him touch more lives and provide more innovative solutions for all Filipinos,” AXA added.
