SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- New Energy Risk (NER), a member of the AXA XL group of companies, announced the promotion of Dr. Brentan Alexander to president.

NER is Underwriting a Greener Future™ by further developing new products to meet shifts in the economy as energy sources transition toward sustainability and industries decarbonize. The company has also implemented its own ESG client framework during this critical period to better respond to these market trends.
