Art and collectibles insurer AXA ART said it promoted Jennifer Scally to managing director for Asia with effect from October 1.

Scally, who joined the company in 2006, brings extensive experience in insurance and local networks across Asia to the position. She has contributed significantly to building AXA Art’s business throughout Asia, establishing operations across the region and extended the company’s specialist services to Hong Kong, Singapore, Greater China, and recently to Malaysia through the AXA Group’s Asian platform.

“AXA ART will continue to expand and invest in Asia as one of our important markets,” said the company’s global chief executive Kai Kuklinski.
