NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AXA XL has welcomed Senior Underwriters Odette Novoa and Erica Delaney to its Environmental insurance team in New York.  Both have joined AXA XL's Northeast regional environmental underwriting team and report to Hiral Shah, Head of Environmental, East Region. 

According to Ms. Shah, "Environmental insurance has become more of a staple in businesses' insurance portfolios.

Ms. Delaney joins AXA XL from The Hartford where she served as a Northeast regional pollution underwriter.  Her underwriting career also includes tenure with Aspen Insurance Group and Preferred Concepts.  She is a graduate of Pace University. 

AXA XL's Environmental insurance business helped build today's environmental insurance market. Nearly three decades later, the team is still making strides, developing new pollution insurance products, finding new ways to address business' environmental risks and delivering products and service via an integrated approach taken by dedicated underwriting, risk consulting and claims handling teams.
