Biographical Overview

Mark Wilson served as CEO of Aviva plc, one of the United Kingdom’s largest insurance and financial services groups, from 2013 to 2018. Before Aviva, he served as President and CEO of AIA Group, the pan-Asian life insurance company, from 2009 to 2012. He has spent much of his career in Asian and global insurance markets. He is a New Zealand national.

Wilson’s extensive background in large-scale insurance and asset management across UK, European, and Asian markets gives him particularly relevant expertise for BlackRock’s governance — as BlackRock manages trillions in insurance general account assets for global insurance companies. His presence on three committees reflects his broad governance engagement.
