Dame Inga Beale

Advocate for Workplace Equality and Former Lloyd's of London CEO

Before she joined Lloyd's, Beale worked for many other companies in various capacities. For instance, she was the Group CE of Converium, a Swiss reinsurance firm that closed operations in 2007. Other companies she worked for include Canopius and GE Insurance Solutions.

However, it was her stint at Lloyd's that stands out most. While at the company, she delivered some of the best financial returns in the history of the firm. The company's presence in the Middle East and Asia is now highly noticeable thanks to her efforts.

Under her eagle eye, Lloyd's of London developed and implemented numerous diversity initiatives, with the Dive In Festival being one of the most notable ones. The initiative would blossom into an international event that fosters diversity and inclusion in the insurance world.

Looking at her achievements, many people believe that Inga is a true example of a one-of-a-kind female leader, who succeeded where even male figures could fail terribly. When it comes to driving women's inclusion agenda, perhaps no one does it better than her. And she has also been vocal in supporting the LGBT community, having admitted to being bisexual herself during a job interview.
