Commenting on Barral’s departure, Aviva’s CEO Mark Wilson thanks Barral for his distinguished service to the group.
Barral said: "David has had a successful career with Aviva spanning 16 years. Over the last three years, David has been a member of the group executive and has been a great partner during Aviva’s turnaround. We all wish him well as he pursues the next chapter."
In a separate development, subject to the completion of the all-share acquisition of Friends Life by Aviva, John Lister will move from his role as Aviva’s group chief risk officer to lead the finance function in the UK&I Life business.
Lister will also retain a group remit in business development, supporting Tom Stoddard, group CFO. J
Lister will continue to be a member of the group executive and his appointment will be effective from 1 July 2015 to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.
