Bermudian insurer and reinsurer Axis Capital has appointed Pradip Patiath to the company’s board of directors. Mr Patiath will serve on the Risk and Human Capital and Compensation Committees, Axis said in a statement.

W Marston Becker, Axis chairman, said: “Pradip is recognised as one of the foremost thinkers and practitioners in digital strategy in the financial services sector.

“He is an outstanding addition to our board, bringing a proven record of success spanning enterprise transformation, artificial intelligence and digital strategy, digital product innovation, and advanced analytics.

“We will benefit greatly from Pradip’s depth and breadth of experience, which extends across insurance, banking, private equity, and fintech industries.”

Mr Patiath is a senior partner at McKinsey & Company and a global leader in the firm’s financial services and technology division. In May 2026, he was also elected to the board of directors of Verisk Analytics, a provider of data analytics and risk solutions to the global insurance industry.

In addition to nearly 30 years with McKinsey over two tenures, Mr Patiath previously served as president and chief operating officer of CCC Information Services. He began his career in engineering roles at Honeywell International and Schlumberger Wireline.

“Under the leadership of president and CEO Vince Tizzio, Axis has emerged as one of the most exciting transformation stories in the global insurance sector,” Mr Patiath said. “It is a privilege to join the Axis board as the company pursues the next stage of its growth as a specialty leader.”

With the addition of Mr Patiath, the Axis Board will consist of 12 members, 11 of whom are independent.
