In 2013, Aviva announced it would be cutting 2,000 jobs globally. At the time, the move was seen as signalling a clear intention by group chief executive Mark Wilson – who arrived from AIA Group at the beginning of 2013 – to shake up operations at the insurer. Since then, the business has undergone radical readjustment.

Euan Munro joined Wilson in January 2014 as chief executive of Aviva Investors.
