Philippines plays first-time host to AXA regional confab

MANILA, Philippines -- Just a few months after the visit of its global CEO, Henri de Castries, to the Philippines, AXA has decided to hold its annual AXA Asia Corporate Meeting (ACM) in the country for the first time as a testament to the growth and contribution of the country to its global and regional business.

To be held this year at The Peninsula Manila from November 2 to 3 (Monday to Tuesday), the AXA Asia ACM gathers the top 130 senior executives of AXA from the entire Asian region. Delegates from China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand will be visiting to discuss best practices and plan for the future of AXA in Asia, to be led by Jean Louis Laurent Josi, Regional CEO of AXA Asia.

“We are very proud to be this year’s host for the AXA Asia ACM,” shares Rien Hermans, President and CEO. “AXA Philippines has been growing steadily and significantly the past several years. The decision to hold the ACM here in our country recognizes the contribution of our local organization to the bigger regional business, and shows how AXA sees the potential in the Philippine market.”

AXA Asia has an aggressive ambition in its sight, targeting 30 million customers by 2020 and 100 million by 2030. Knowing that it takes great change and upheaval to reach such a lofty goal, the 2015 theme is entitled “Transforming Asia Together.”
