Henri de Castries, Chairman of the Management Board said: “I would like to very warmly thank Alain for bringing his great experience and vision in terms of human resources, and his contribution to enhance the strategic dimension of this function within AXA,”. “AXA employees have built the Group as it is today. The current crisis shows once again that their engagement and common culture are key to sustainably differentiate ourselves. During more than 6 years, Alain put his energy in developing competencies and leadership, and in fostering the engagement of us all, to help us continue to write AXA’s story and to make sure that everybody will find its place in it. I wish Shu Khoo the greatest success in her new position. I have no doubt that she will succeed in pursuing the work started by Alain, and will lead us to 2012, and beyond.”
