What does this mean?
When Aviva invested in Wealthify, the founders got the option to sell their remaining shares to Aviva – this has now been exercised. As part of the deal, CEO Richard Theo has stepped down to be replaced by Aviva’s Andrew Russell. However, CIO and COO Michelle Pearce-Burke has stayed on.
