Marie will be responsible for all aspects of corporate responsibility (CR) including diversity, environment, and community programmes across Aviva’s 28 markets, as well as the annual global employee satisfaction survey. She succeeds Louella Eastman, who is retiring from the role.
Marie began her career at Aviva in 1986 and has held a number of senior roles within the organisation including HR director for the RAC, Norwich Union General Insurance and most recently Aviva’s Asia Pacific region.
John Ainley, Aviva’s HR director, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of the way we do business – we were the first insurer to go carbon neutral worldwide – and we’re committed to influencing responsible behaviour in our customers, suppliers and the companies we invest in. Our approach to corporate responsibility is vital in maintaining customer trust. Marie brings extensive experience in HR to the role, and her energy and first rate leadership skills will be invaluable as we continue to embed our CR programme across our 28 markets.”
