In order to better manage its cyber risk portfolio, AXA XL is making a move that likely will become more and more popular in the insurance industry with the ever-changing landscape of cyber risks. AXA XL has created a new role of global chief underwriting officer specifically for cyber, and has appointed Elizabeth Benet, who previously ran her own consulting business, to fill the role.

Prior to forming her own consulting business Benet served several positions in the insurance industry and served companies such as Beazley, General Reinsurance and Zurich. She is a member of the Maryland State Bar, and has both the Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP US) and the Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) designations.
