Today’s guest is back on the show in a role he has only recently accepted – that of Chair of the London Market Group (the LMG).

Sean McGovern is probably the market’s best qualified incumbent for this job, and in this podcast I found Sean completely on top of his brief;

Pushing the UK political establishment hard for changes to the UK regulatory regime to make it more accountable and conscious of the market’s global competitive position;

banging the drum to attract talent and develop market-wide initiatives that benefit all participants, big and small;

and helping to create consensus around and drive adoption of the London Market’s ongoing technological reform processes.

We talked about everything – there were no taboos – not even Brexit!

In my dealings with him over the years, Sean has always been incredibly direct and often surprisingly candid and this encounter is no different.

This episode will get you up to speed on what’s topping the LMG’s agenda and what Sean, and the rest of the team are doing on the London Market and its clients’ behalf to make sure what everyone needs to happen, happens.

I also think it’ll make any London Market practitioners listening feel particularly lucky to be so well represented.

Well, see what you think.

NOTES
We refer to a Caroline. That of course is Caroline Wagstaff, CEO of the LMG, last on the show in Episode 141.
