Welsh CEO of financial giant Aviva faced 'sexist, derogatory' attack at shareholder meeting

The Welsh chief executive of FTSE 100 financial giant Aviva faced sexist, derogatory attacks from some shareholders at the company's annual general meeting.

According to the Financial Times, shareholders subjected female board members, including Aviva chief Amanda Blanc, to sexist and inappropriate comments during the company's in-person AGM on Monday.

Ms Blanc, originally from Treherbert in the Rhondda Valley, said she is still used to "sexist" and "derogatory" comments made towards herself in companies and boardrooms over her 30-plus year career.
