About this event

Sir Roger Gifford was Lord Mayor of London in 2012/13, representing the UK financial and professional services industry at home and abroad. He was born in St Andrews, Scotland and educated at Sedbergh and Trinity College, Oxford, reading Chemistry. He has headed Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB) in the UK since 2000 and worked with the bank since 1982.

Roger began his career in the financial sector at S.G. Warburg & Co in the 1970s. Prior to his appointment as Head of SEB London, Roger headed the bank's operations in Japan. He is Vice Chairman of the Association of Foreign Banks and was previously Chairman from 2007 to 2011. His business interests lie in raising finance for companies in the London capital markets.

He is a member of several of the traditional trades associations in the city, including the Worshipful Company of International Bankers (where he was Master in 2010 - 2011) and the Worshipful Company of Musicians.

His presentation, "The City of London, Past, present and Future", will cover the historical context of the current City, it's growth and purpose, and how he sees its future as a financial centre of crucial importance to the UK, Europe and the world at large. Roger firmly believes that The City of London is Europe's asset, not only that of the UK, and that it is in the interest of both London and Luxembourg to support each other to their mutual benefit.
