The appointee will continue to report to Mike Craston, director of client solutions.

Aviva Investors has appointed Louise Kay to its executive team with immediate effect. 

The nine-strong team, led by Euan Munro, chief executive officer, is responsible for establishing and delivering the firm's global strategy. 

Kay joined Aviva Investors in June 2015. She will continue to carry out her role as global head of client solutions, meaning she is responsible for external distribution globally. 

She will continue to report to Mike Craston, director of client solutions. 

“Louise has played a key role in our recent growth and her promotion to the executive team is richly deserved,” said Munro.
