Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everybody, I'm Nikola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, and today we are in really good company with Amanda Blanc, the CEO of Britain's leading insurance company. Aviva. Now, this is the kind of company that ensures your home, your car and helps you save for retirement.

They serve 25 million people globally and 21 million people in the UK alone. Amanda took over in July 2020 and has led what is described as a complete transformation and we're going to hear all about it. So Amanda, wonderful to have you on the podcast. Thanks, Nikolai. Really, really great to see you.

Just briefly before we start, what does Aviva actually do in short? Oh right, in short, well, I mean, basically it protects people, it protects businesses from bad things that can happen and also it looks after people in their hour of need and when they want to do things like retire. So, you know, we we say with you today for a better tomorrow, that's our purpose, and I suppose that encapsulates everything that we do. Now you're both an insurer and a major investor. How how can you explain that dual role?
