Over the past 4 years Aviva has seen substantial progress for its business in the UK under Andy’s leadership. During this time Friends Life has been integrated and the Group consolidated its position as the UK’s leading insurer.
As Andy is leaving the company, Maurice Tulloch will conduct a review to ensure the appropriate management structure is in place to build on that success for the future.
Furthermore, Maurice Tulloch will bring more business unit leaders on to the Group’s senior leadership team in order to broaden it. Joining Aviva’s Leadership Team are also Colm Holmes, CEO of Aviva Canada and Global Corporate & Speciality, and Patrick Dixneuf, who will become CEO of Aviva’s European businesses while remaining as CEO of Aviva France.
As a result of these senior management changes, Aviva will not seek to appoint a new CEO International. This role was filled by Maurice Tulloch before he became Group CEO.
Commenting on the leadership changes Maurice Tulloch, Chief Executive Officer of Aviva, said:
“These appointments are an important first step to bring greater energy, pace and commercial thinking to Aviva. Andy Briggs will be missed. Andy is a brilliant leader and a good friend. Aviva has benefited enormously from his extensive industry experience and his integrity and we wish him well for the future. I look forward to working with him during the transitionary period.”
Commenting on the departure of Andy, Sir Adrian Montague, Chairman of Aviva, said:
“Andy has made a great contribution to Aviva’s business since he joined the Group following the acquisition of Friends Life in 2015. On behalf of the Board, I would like to pay particular tribute to Andy for his conduct throughout the process to select a new CEO and afterwards, and Andy will leave with our best wishes for his future career.”
