Our ability to identify and recruit key talent on a global basis is an essential building block in our digital transformation and one of our key strategic priorities.

We also hope to further enhance our brand awareness, for both customers and talents through the building of a global brand strategy on this network. Much in the same vein as the AXA Lab in San Francisco and some other initiatives and partnerships, this is a key milestone for our in-depth cultural transformation, instrumental in our ambition to become the leading digital and multi-access insurer. This agreement will also give our distribution teams worldwide access to a proven business development platform, as well as improve the service they provide our clients with, through more proximity and dialogue on the world's largest professional network
