Maurice Tulloch has been appointed to the role of president and CEO of Aviva Canada, effective Jan. 1, 2010.
He will replace Robin Spencer, current president and CEO, who is returning to the United Kingdom to assume the role of chief risk officer for Aviva plc.
In addition to being part of Aviva Canada’s executive committee, Tulloch was previously executive vice president of broker distribution (Ontario) and specialty distribution.
Tulloch has been with Aviva since 1992. He has held increasingly senior management positions, including president of Aviva-owned Pilot Insurance Company and executive vice president for Aviva Traders, Aviva Elite and Aviva Scottish and York.
He has also worked at Aviva group centre in London, England.
“Maurice’s significant insurance industry experience, ability to drive successful results and extensive relationships with our independent broker partners make him a natural to lead Aviva’s business in Canada,” Igal Mayer, incoming chief executive of Aviva North America, said in a company release. “I am pleased that our focus on developing our people has resulted in our new CEO coming from within Aviva Canada.”
Tulloch will work closely with Spencer in the coming weeks to ensure a seamless transition into his new role.
“I look forward to building on the momentum we have within the Canadian property and casualty market, as well as working with the independent broker channel and our entire Canadian workforce,” Tulloch commented in the release. “It will be a pleasure to lead an already great team into the next decade.”
Greg Somerville will become executive vice president with sole responsibility for the broker business in Canada, a role formerly split in Canada by region.
