Jo Carver is the General Counsel for Commercial Banking Legal at Lloyds Banking Group. She was instrumental in getting Lloyds to sign up to the Charter as one of the original signatories and rolling it out across legal and the commercial banking business. Having, with her husband, Mike, raised three children while pursuing a career she knows the importance of finding a balance between life and work. Jo leads on Inclusion & Diversity for the Legal & Secretariat Division at Lloyds, heads the People Group and co-chairs Lloyds’ Women’s Network. She is passionate about developing the legal team of the future, putting people first and bringing about cultural change. While the legal profession is demanding on time and mental capacity Jo believes there is a better, more mindful way we can deal with each other and the MBC does a great job of setting out specific, tangible, measurable actions to effect that change. As a trustee, she will be eager to use her people skills, her contacts and the business acumen she has obtained through her years at Airbus, Barclays and Lloyds, to further the work of the MBC and see more companies’ cultures transformed through the implementation of the charter.
