Aviva CEO Moss quits after investor rebellion

Moss becomes third chief exec in two weeks to quit after shareholder revolts on pay

British insurance group Aviva said on Tuesday that chief executive officer Andrew Moss would stand down with immediate effect, the latest UK CEO to leave amid investor anger over pay.

Moss is the third FTSE 100 CEO to stand down in recent weeks as a shareholder rebellion over the gap between corporate performance and pay gathers pace. Last week, the chief executives of AstraZeneca and Trinity Mirror also quit after investors challenged their pay.
