Head of Global Mobility, Aviva
Viv Mott has 30+ years experience in the Global Mobility field working in the Financial Services sector. She started off her GM career at Citibank (now Citi), joining the GM team in London as a Junior Relocation Specialist in 1986. Viv left Citi in 2007 after working her way up thru the ranks to Vice President managing an in-house team of 7 handling an average of 800 cross border moves annually. During her time at Citi Viv encountered many changes in the GM function with the decentralisation of the GM team in the early 90’s to the centralisation of the GM function in 1997, and then finally the outsourcing to a third party provider late in 2007.
Since leaving Citi Viv has held GM managerial roles at ABN AMRO and then RBS where in addition to managing Senior moves and vendor management Viv was a major player in reviewing the local support provided to Expats assigned to India, the highest Expat destination for RBS. Viv completed a 12 month contract role in the International Mobility team at Barclays during 2015 where she managed the EMEA operational team and at the end of 2015 joined Aviva as the Head of Global Mobility.
In November 2015, at the EMEA Forum for Expatriate Management EMMA Awards, Viv received the FEM annual award for her Outstanding Contribution to Global Mobility, richly deserved after 30 years in GM!
Viv lives in Surrey with her husband and daughter and continues to enjoy networking with her many friends and colleagues who she has met in the GM field over the past 30 years!
