Aviva Chairman to step down
Aviva plc has announced that Sir Adrian Montague has informed the Board of his intention to retire as Chairman of the Company in 2020 once a successor has been appointed.
Sir Adrian was appointed Chairman of Aviva in April 2015, having joined as a Non-Executive Director in January 2013. The Board has initiated a process for the appointment of a successor.
Sir Adrian Montague, Chairman, said:
“When I became Chairman in 2015 the Board asked me to commit to serve for at least five years. Now that Maurice has launched Aviva’s strategy, a new senior management team is in place and the Board has been refreshed, it is also time for a new Chairman. In the meantime I remain committed to this great organisation which I am confident will deliver for all its customers, employees and shareholders”.
George Culmer, Senior Independent Director, said:
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our deep thanks to Adrian for his service, leadership and guidance over the past seven years. Adrian has chaired Aviva through a period of considerable change and departs with our very best wishes for the strong legacy he leaves”.
