Danny Harmer named HERoes Executive Role Model

Danny is the Co-Executive Sponsor of our Pride Community, Executive Representative on the Global Inclusion Committee and Co-Executive Sponsor of our Domestic Abuse Working Group, which introduced training last year to support customers and colleagues.

Danny also writes articles and speaks at events on issues such as menopause, caring and working parents. She mentors several women, and is a past Master of the Guild of HR Professionals.

Danny Harmer said, “I am very flattered to be named in the HERoes Women Executives Role Models List especially alongside such brilliant women.

“It’s so important that we can work in an inclusive environment that lets everyone pursue their potential, particularly as offices reopen and organisations explore new ways of working. If we foster diverse teams and a fabulous culture, everyone will benefit.” 

The global HERoes Women Role Model Lists showcase leaders across multiple sectors and industries who champion women in business and drive change for gender diversity in the workplace across the world.

Those on the HERoes Role Model Lists have not only achieved success in their own careers but actively drive for more inclusive workplaces.

Aviva has been leading this agenda for decades: Aviva was the first international insurer to go operationally carbon neutral in 2006 and we are champions of renewable energy and energy storage at our offices, allowing us to achieve our 2030 carbon reduction target (70% reduction on 2010 levels) 10 years early.
