Global insurer Aviva has appointed Leah Ramoutar, currently the Head of Climate and Nature Risk at Phoenix Group, as the Environmental Sustainability Director, effective later this month.
Claudine Blamey, the Group’s Sustainability Director, commented, “Leah is a brilliant addition to Aviva. As Environmental Sustainability Director, she will be instrumental in delivering our ambitious climate agenda to be net zero by 2040.
“Sustainability is central to Aviva’s strategy, and with recent global weather events showing how urgently we all need to take action to be climate ready, it’s fantastic to bring Leah’s skills and experience to the business.”
Ramoutar is a market veteran with over 20 years of experience across advisory, corporate finance, investment management, and sustainability.
As the Environmental Sustainability Director, Ramoutar will lead Aviva’s Climate Centre of Excellence and Environment Hub. She will also play an important role in delivering Aviva’s Climate change and environment agenda.
Ramoutar said, “Aviva is well known for having a market-leading approach to sustainability and a strong track record in climate action. The role is an exciting opportunity for me to contribute to the important work already underway to Aviva’s climate commitment and I look forward to joining later this year.”
