National Senior Vice President, Energy, Resources, & Renewables

Hi, I’m Bjorn Ostlund. As the Senior Vice President of Energy, Resources, and Renewables at Axis, I leverage over 35 years of global experience in the energy, power, and mining sectors. With a background in economics and finance from Clarkson University and multiple professional insurance licenses, I specialize in strategic and innovative risk management.

Throughout my career, I’ve led risk management for major energy companies, including Enbridge, TC Energy, ENMAX, and TransAlta. My expertise spans offshore, oil and gas, power, and renewable energy, allowing me to navigate the complex risks inherent in these industries. I’ve played a pivotal role in developing and managing large-scale insurance programs, including pollution placements and captive insurance strategies for companies like Talisman Energy and Superior Plus Corporation.

At Axis Insurance, I align our clients’ risk management strategies with their growth and innovation goals. By utilizing my deep industry knowledge and extensive network, I provide clients with advanced tools and insights to transform operational risks into opportunities for success.

Outside of work, I enjoy golf, hiking, and volunteering, bringing a balanced and energetic perspective to my professional endeavors.
