AXIS Digital Ventures

AXIS Digital Ventures operates as AXIS Capital's corporate venture arm, strategically investing in and partnering with technology companies. It integrates external innovations, particularly in data and analytics, to enhance AXIS Capital’s specialty insurance and reinsurance capabilities. This unit collaborates with entrepreneurial firms, deploying advanced solutions across the enterprise, ultimately driving technological advancement within the parent company’s operations and offerings.

AXIS Capital launched Digital Ventures in July 2018, spearheaded by Andrew Wheatley-Hubbard, then Head of Strategy and Transformation, and CEO Albert Benchimol.

Its vision focuses on fostering enterprise-wide digital transformation, aiming to keep AXIS Capital at the forefront of its specialized markets. By integrating innovative technology, it drives continuous improvements and elevates industry benchmarks for efficiency and client solutions.
