BABC-NE: An intimate breakfast with The Lord Mayor of the City of London Venue: Downtown Harvard Club, Boston Speaker: Alderman David Lewis, Lord Mayor of the City of London Description: “Today’s New World Order in the Global Financial Community: Perspectives from the City of London”
Speaker: Alderman David Lewis, Lord Mayor of the City of London
Chair: Stephen Woods, Executive Vice President, RBS Citizens, N.A.
Audience: 50 Executives from Boston’s financial community & selected guests
Events of the last 12 months have taught us hard lessons about where liquidity and capital sits in the world. Long-standing financial institutions have had to change linkages. In some cases institutions could not change fast enough to avoid catastrophe. Nowhere in the world are these linkages better understood than in the City of London, the world’s leading financial center. You will learn some of the City’s perspectives and get your questions answered on the New World Order that is emerging.
As head of the City of London, the Lord Mayor presides over its governing bodies. He also carries a wider business role: as the respected and apolitical spokesman for Britain’s financial and business communities.
