BSCC elects top executive as president

The British Swiss Chamber of Commerce has elected Dame Inga Beale as its new president.

Dame Inga is a well-known international business leader and was the first female CEO of Lloyds of London, the global insurance market. 

She remains a non-executive director at Lloyds as well as other businesses, including risk management and in the medical sector. 

She divides her time between the UK and Switzerland as her husband is Swiss. She says she’s fortunate to enjoy both countries’ cultural and business worlds.

Dame Inga Beale takes up her new role at the BSCC next month.
