Thomas Buberl

Chief Executive Officer of AXA

AXA’s underlying earnings and net income both crossed the Euro 6 billion mark for the first time in the company’s history, with all major geographies contributing to this achievement. Our new business value was up 8%. Health was our fastest growing business in 2017, with revenues and earnings growing at 6% and 11% respectively.

In line with our vision to empower people to live a better life, we enhanced our Payer to Partner capabilities with the acquisition of Maestro Health. And we continue to lead our industry in the fight against climate change, notably by quadrupling our 2020 green investments commitment.
