Aviva nabs new ‘highly experienced’ CFO from RSA to fuel growth

Insurance giant  Aviva has found a new chief financial officer (CFO) following the  departure of Jason Windsor in January after he accepted the CFO position at British housebuilding company Persimmon. The appointee comes from fellow UK insurer RSA, with prior experiences at Jupiter Fund, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and EY.

Charlotte Jones (pictured) will join Aviva as CFO and executive director at the start of September 2022.

Jones was previously CFO of RSA Insurance and interim chief executive officer of the RSA UK & International business.

Jones’ career in financial services includes CFO of Jupiter Fund Management, where she was the member of the board and executive committee with responsibility for finance and corporate strategy. Before that she was head of group finance at Credit Suisse Group and deputy group CFO at Deutsche Bank Group. She started her career at EY.

Amanda Blanc, group chief executive officer of Aviva, said: “This is a really excellent appointment for Aviva. Charlotte is a highly experienced CFO with an impressive track record across the insurance and asset management industries. She is an exceptional addition to Aviva and will play a central role as we accelerate our performance and grow.”

Jones commented: “ Aviva is both an amazing brand and a business really focused on delivery, and so the opportunity to join as CFO is fantastic. I look forward to working with Amanda and the team, and making Aviva the undisputed market leader in insurance, wealth and retirement.”
