AXIS is very proud to announce that Billy Smith, CBA has been appointed Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion & Internal Mobility at AXIS. Billy is a passionate advocate for DEI both within AXIS and beyond, serving as a charter member of our DEI Council and co-chair of the Pride Employee Resource Group. He succeeds Gail Wien who retired from AXIS earlier this year – and we extend our deep appreciation to Gail for all that she did to grow our DEI strategy and programming, in partnership with our DEI Council and Employee Resource Groups. Reflecting on his appointment, Billy shared: “When I started my career in insurance, it wasn’t common for someone in the LGBTQ+ space to be open about their life. I often felt unable to contribute to my full potential. Now, in this new role, I feel as though I’ve come full circle. I’m excited to build on the existing momentum at AXIS and foster a genuine culture of inclusivity and belonging while helping my colleagues take advantage of all the career opportunities at hand.” Please join us in congratulating Billy on his new role!
Congratulations Billy! Well deserved, I know you'll do great things ❤️🍾
