Henri de Castries

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of AXA (2000-2016)

AXA delivered a strong set of results in 2012, with significant underlying earnings and operating free cash flow growth. This, combined with a robust balance sheet, enables AXA's Board of Directors to propose to shareholders an increased dividend of Euro 0.72 per share. We have continued to relentlessly pursue efficiencies and product innovations, as well as benefit from sweet spots in high growth markets so as to extend competitive advantage and value for policyholders in the evolving market environment.
