Andrew Moss profile: the man who ran out of cover Five years later the group, which has now been split into two divisions, is worth less than £9bn. A case of two Avivas, half the value. His time as chief executive of Aviva will be remembered for his endless restructuring of the insurer and executive reshuffles. His affair with an employee at the company, who was married to one of his senior executives, will also live long in the memory. But what of his legacy? Aviva's share price fell by about 60pc during his tenure while the company's relationship with many of its leading investors deteriorated. Mr Moss was unable to inspire confidence in his leadership and paid the price for failing to judge the mood in the City on pay. Despite this, the sale of RAC to Carlyle for £1bn, the spin-off of Delta Lloyd in 2009 and the disposals of businesses in areas such as Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania leave the company in a trimmer shape. Unfortunately for Mr Moss, they did not disguise four and a bit years of under-performance. In the words of Aviva's new executive chairman John McFarlane: "My first priorities are to regain the respect of our shareholders by eliminating the discount in our share price." Most would argue that, with Mr Moss now gone, this process is well under way.
