Aviva PLC (AV.LN) said Wednesday that Andy Briggs will step down
as its U.K. insurance chief executive and director with immediate
effect.
Angela Darlington, currently Aviva's group chief risk officer,
will become interim CEO of Aviva's U.K. insurance business, the
FTSE 100-listed insurer said.
Mr. Briggs, who joined the company's board in April 2015
following the acquisition of Friends Life, will remain with Aviva
until Oct. 23 to support an orderly transition, the insurer
said.
Aviva said Colm Holmes, CEO of Aviva Canada and its global
corporate and specialty unit, and Patrick Dixneuf, who becomes CEO
of Aviva's European businesses and remains as CEO of Aviva France,
will join the group's leadership team, the insurer said.
