Financial is to be recognized as the leader in the distribution of
life and annuity products," Mr. Condron said. "While we've done
well in earning significant market share in the various channels of
distribution, we are poised for substantial growth in the next few
years. We continue to attract outstanding executive and wholesaling
talent. We have been developing more innovative products and
solutions that meet client needs with a specific focus on the
market's demand for guaranteed income and death benefit products."
"I'm confident Jamie's vast experience coupled with his energetic
and innovative leadership will drive AXA Distributors to even
greater successes in the future," Mr. Condron added. Mr.

which includes a number of leadership roles and a significant focus
on third- party distribution organizations. After leaving AXA, he
became co-CEO of MetLife Investors Group, with responsibility for
the design, manufacturing and distribution of products sold through
third-party channels. Most recently, he has served as CEO of John
Hancock Funds, leading the organization's product expansion and
creation of an investment platform following the completion of the
