London is one of Dr Kate Barker’s two home cities, and her UK engagements reflect the city’s centre of gravity: boards, financial institutions and the governance community. She has spoken on platforms including the FT Future of Business Summit, and her sessions for London audiences lean into the questions British boardrooms are actually asking: AI governance and director accountability, the future of professional work, and leadership when the machine sounds certain.
Being based between London and the Gulf means UK bookings carry no intercontinental logistics, and closed-door board briefings can be arranged with short lead times alongside mainstage keynotes.
