Prior to AXA XL, Tellekamp has an around 20-year stint at Liberty Mutual.  

He was latterly the senior vice president and head of excess casualty for major accounts at Liberty Mutual, managing excess casualty insurance offerings for the company’s largest clients.  

Before that, he oversaw Liberty’s US excess casualty construction and energy segment. 

Commenting on the appointment, Nadeau said: “Both construction and energy industries face similar risks, including project delays, safety hazards, and environmental challenges. This is exactly what drove us to combine these teams to allow for a more integrated approach to risk management and insurance solutions.
