AXIS Capital has revealed that Matthew Kirk will succeed Peter J. Vogt as the firm’s Chief Financial Officer, effective March 2026.<\/p>\n

\"axis-capital-logo\"As part of a planned leadership transition, Vogt will act as a strategic advisor to AXIS Capital through the end of 2026 to support a smooth transition.<\/p>\n

Kirk, who presently serves as CFO of Enstar Group, will join AXIS in Q4 2025, initially serving in an advisory capacity before assuming the role of CFO in March 2026.<\/p>\n

With three decades of experience in insurance, finance, and accounting, Kirk will report directly to AXIS President and CEO Vince Tizzio, serve on the Executive Committee, and be based in New York.<\/p>\n

He began his career at Arthur Andersen, where he served as an Assurance and Business Advisory Manager.<\/p>\n

Kirk commented on his new role, \u201cI\u2019m honored to join AXIS at such a dynamic time in its evolution. The Company\u2019s sharp focus on specialty underwriting and disciplined growth is impressive, and I\u2019m excited to contribute to its continued success.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m deeply committed to building strong teams, fostering accountability, and aligning financial strategy with business goals. I look forward to partnering with Vince and the leadership team to build on AXIS\u2019 momentum and deliver lasting value. It\u2019s a privilege to follow Pete and contribute to the next chapter of the Company\u2019s journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tizzio said, \u201cOur performance over the past two years underscores the substantial progress we have made in transforming AXIS into a specialty underwriting leader.<\/p>\n

“We are grateful to Pete for his valued leadership over the past 15 years and for all that he has done for our company. His contributions have been instrumental in advancing our multi-year transformation program, which has positioned AXIS on a path toward consistent, long-term profitability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Matt, we are bringing onboard a highly accomplished global finance leader with the experience necessary to help propel our success further. He has a track record of helping drive top- and bottom-line growth, demonstrating strong capital management, and leading finance modernization initiatives that increase productivity and efficiency on a global scale.<\/p>\n

“Matt will strongly complement our team and the work we are doing to further elevate AXIS and deliver even more value to our teammates, customers, and shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vogt added, \u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of the achievements we\u2019ve made in recent years to reposition AXIS and put the Company on an exciting leadership trajectory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith key phases of the transformation work now complete or in progress, and having been at AXIS for 15 years, this is a natural time for a transition and I feel confident knowing that I\u2019ll be leaving the Company in highly capable hands with Matt as our future CFO.\u201d<\/p>\n
