Aviva has appointed Jason Storah as CEO of UK & Ireland General Insurance, and Tracy Garrad as CEO of Aviva Canada.
Aviva is a leading player in the insurance sector, recognised globally for its robust insurance solutions and services. With a broad portfolio that caters to various segments, the company has entrenched its position as a trusted name in the industry.
Jason Storah, a seasoned professional with two decades in the industry, has been appointed as the CEO of UK & Ireland General Insurance. Tracy Garrad, boasting an illustrious career in financial services, insurance, and healthcare, will be stepping into the role of CEO of Aviva Canada.
Storah has a rich history with Aviva, having previously led Aviva Canada as its CEO. His leadership saw the company grow its Gross Written Premium (GWP) by 34%, clinching the position of the second-largest General Insurer in Canada. He has also held the Chief Distribution Officer role at Aviva.
Tracy Garrad, on the other hand, has had prominent stints as the CEO of AXA’s UK Healthcare business, the CEO of HSBC’s Channel Islands and Isle of Man business, and a four-year tenure as CEO of First Direct Bank. Furthermore, she holds the position of a Non-Executive Director at The London Stock Exchange Group plc.
Following these appointments, Adam Winslow, the previous CEO of UK & Ireland General Insurance, will be leaving the company to explore new opportunities outside of Aviva.
Aviva Group CEO Amanda Blanc said, “I am delighted to make these appointments, both of which strengthen the Executive Management of Aviva. Under his leadership it will go from strength to strength.”
Jason Storah commented, “It’s a huge honour and responsibility to be asked to lead the UK and Ireland General Insurance business. I’m excited to take on this new role and join a fantastic team that works tirelessly to grow our business and support our customers.”
Blanc further added, “We are also looking forward to welcoming the very talented Tracy Garrad to Aviva Canada later this year. She is a proven CEO, with the strength of leadership to add huge value to our business across the Atlantic.”
Tracy Garrad stated, “I feel very privileged to be joining Aviva at such an exciting time and shooting for even further growth in this fantastic franchise.”
