Ben Luckett, chief Innovation officer at Aviva*, comments
We’re always looking for investments that create value for Aviva and our customers. Not just short-term financial gain, but investments that give us access to the latest technologies and the best insight. They help us shape our strategy, how we do business and how we meet our customers’ ever-changing needs.
We are very pleased to strengthen our partnership with Anthemis and extend our access to FinTech and InsurTech start-ups. Anthemis is an exciting platform which gives us that strategic seat at the table.
Anthemis has a record of putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of its investment decisions, and we will work closely to ensure that all investment opportunities are evaluated with due regard to diversity and inclusion.”
Anthemis founder and ceo Amy Nauiokas, added “For over 10 years, Anthemis has sought to partner with individuals, companies and institutions that share in our mission to build a more resilient, representative and inclusive financial services ecosystem that functions in the service of our society.
Our partnership with Aviva will allow us to extend our commitment to reshaping financial services with an increasingly diverse cohort of founders. A more representative financial services ecosystem is not possible without the support of large institutions, and so we are particularly encouraged to work alongside Aviva whose leadership is an embodiment of this.”
