Ep07 - Interview with Amanda Blanc, CEO, Aviva

On this edition of The Little Questions podcast we’re out on the road to chat to Amanda Blanc, the Group CEO of insurance giant, Aviva. During this wide ranging interview we discuss her views on confidence being contagious; why good CEO’s need to be good communicators and what she really wants from a good PR. 

 Amanda was born and bred in Wales, having grown up in the Rhondda Valley. She started her career as a graduate at one of Aviva’s ancestor companies, Commercial Union. Following success in senior executive roles across the insurance industry, she came back to Aviva as CEO in July 2020. Amanda was formerly Group CEO at AXA UK, PPP & Ireland and CEO Europe, Middle East, Africa & Global Banking at Zurich Insurance Group. She also held executive leadership positions at Towergate Insurance Brokers, Groupama Insurance Company and Commercial Union. Amanda has previously served as Chair of the Association of British Insurers, Chair of the Insurance Fraud Bureau and President of the Chartered Insurance Institute.
