Lloyd’s has announced the appointment of Vicky Carter as deputy chair of Lloyd’s Council, effective Sept. 1. Carter will be the first woman in the company’s 335-year history to hold the post.
Carter has been an elected member of Lloyd’s Council since 2019 and has worked for the Lloyd’s market for 40 years. She began her career in medicine before moving to reinsurance broking in 1980. Carter joined Guy Carpenter in 2010 as vice-chair of international operations and, in 2018, she became chair of Global Capital Solutions International. She also holds positions on the company’s board and executive committee.
Carter is chair of the Lloyd’s Charities trust and Lloyd’s Community Programme and a trustee of the Sick Children’s Trust.
