As CEO of Aviva Europe, McMillan oversaw a four-year turnaround of the division and was formerly transformation director at Aviva helping to lead the turnaround of the global business.
It was also announced that Victor Walter has also been appointed deputy group CFO, as the business is still searching for a permanent appointment to the role of group CFO.
It was announced last year that Pat Regan would remain as group CFO until a replacement is found following his move to become the CEO of the Australian and New Zealand operations of the firm.
Fagen left QBE a year after taking on the newly created Group COO role having worked for QBE for over 16 years.
