I am very honored by the confidence that AXA’s Board of Directors has placed in me in this new role and I look forward to pursuing a very effective and open management of our Board. I am fully committed to support Thomas Buberl, our new CEO, in the implementation of the Group's strategy. On behalf of all the AXA Group’s employees, I would like once again to very warmly thank Henri de Castries for all he has achieved and brought to AXA over the years. On a personal note, I would also like to thank him for his invaluable advice and friendship we have built over the years.

Thomas Buberl

Chief Executive Officer of AXA

This is a great privilege for me to lead AXA, and I would like to thank the Board of Directors for their trust. I am committed to deliver on our Ambition 2020 strategic plan with the support of all of our employees and take-up these future challenges with enthusiasm. The quality and depth of our talent pools is one of our greatest assets, and I am very proud to see the constitution of this Partners group, with such a talented array of senior executives from across the Group. They will bring their experience and vision to support the Management Committee and contribute to lead AXA towards a new phase of its development focused on transformation of the customer experience and our business model.
