Speaker Introduction

Claire Williams
Former Deputy Team Principal of Williams Racing

Hear from Claire Williams, a pioneering figure in Formula 1 who served as Deputy Team Principal of Williams Racing from 2013 to 2020, one of only two women to lead an F1 team in the modern era. During her tenure, she oversaw the team's strategic and competitive operations and served as the family representative on the company board, shaping the team's long-term direction and governance. Beyond the racetrack, Claire has been a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion in motorsport, playing a key role in enabling Susie Wolff to become the first female driver to participate in an F1 race weekend since 1992.

Outside of motorsport, Claire serves as Vice President of the Spinal Injuries Association, where she has promoted workplace opportunities for spinal cord-injured individuals, and in 2023 launched the Sir Frank Williams Academy to provide care and support for those living with spinal injuries. At our event, she will be sharing her experiences leading one of motorsport's most iconic teams, and her insights on strategic leadership, high-performance culture, and driving meaningful change in traditionally male-dominated industries.

Forecast 2025: Progress, Fragility and the New Politics of Financial Crime Prevention
Financial crime prevention is improving, thanks to biometrics, tracking of devices, and dynamic monitoring, but banks must still tackle the problems of regulatory divergence and inconsistent collaboration. The senior managing directors and practitioners at 1LoD’s Financial Crime Summit in London discussed the industry’s move from static checks and isolated pilot schemes to a more continuous monitoring of behaviour, management of risk, and wider sharing of data.
