Insurer joins Blackrock

AVIVA’S boss has joined the board of investment behemoth Blackrock as a nonexecutive director.

New Zealander Mark Wilson, 51, will work with Blackrock boss Larry Fink overseeing more than £4.5 trillion of savers’ cash. Wilson held senior jobs at insurers Axa and AIA before taking charge of Aviva.

The married father of three has overseen a turnaround at the insurer since he took the reins in 2013.
