Dame Inga Beale is a British businesswoman and transformational leader with over four decades of experience in global financial services, best known for her tenure as the first female CEO of Lloyd's of London. She was appointed CEO of Lloyd's in 2013, making history at the 328-year-old insurance and reinsurance market. During her five years in the role, she led the digitalisation of the market, launched the Lloyd's Innovation Lab, and opened access to high-growth markets including China, Dubai, and India. Dame Inga has spent much of her career at the intersection of institutional change and social progress. She launched Pride@Lloyds, helped found the International Insurance Supper Club for senior female executives, and has been a driving force behind the Dive In Festival, the only sector-wide diversity and inclusion festival in the global insurance industry. In 2015, she became the first woman and first openly bisexual person to top the OUTstanding and FT Leading LGBT Executive Power List. She was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2017 for services to the UK economy and equality. Beyond the boardroom, Dame Inga chairs South Pole, a leading climate action company, serves on the boards of NN Group, Willis Towers Watson, and Crawford and Company, and is President of the British-Swiss Chamber of Commerce. She is also a trustee of the International Panel on the Information Environment and chaired the UK's HIV Commission. For organisations navigating transformation, risk, or the demands of building a genuinely inclusive culture, Dame Inga brings a rare combination of lived experience and commercial rigour to the stage.

Topics, sessions and talks

Modernising Tradition

A journey of cultural and technological change, Lloyd’s of London, a British institution rooted in marine insurance, was founded in 1688. Some of its practices hadn’t changed over hundreds of years, but it needed to modernise to keep up with today’s technological world. As the CEO hired to do this massive transformation, Dame Inga Beale tells her story of the cultural and technological changes required to bring this great institution into the modern age. Attendees will learn strategies for successfully transforming any business.

Changing Risk Landscape

Across the world, society, businesses, and governments are confronted with enormous changes and challenges, all of which present risks—both new and old. Dame Inga Beale explores the threat of the climate crisis to business, the rise of cybercrime exposing vulnerabilities, and how to form strategies in the current climate of geopolitical change. Attendees will learn how to think about and address the latest risk trends.

Creating An Inclusive Workplace

Breaking through several glass ceilings and addressing taboo topics, Dame Inga Beale talks about how to build an environment where people from all walks of life feel valued and can thrive at work. Driven by her personal purpose to empower women in business and her varied career that has taken her to many different countries, she shares lessons learned along the way.
