How we're governed

How we are governed

We play a unique role; through our thought-leadership, partnership approach, and a heritage based on trust we have the permission to connect in ways that no-one else can, collaborating and inspiring through a truly extensive and highly influential network, where we both provoke and lead healthy debate.

Our Leadership and Governance Structure

Our senior leadership team comprises our CEO and her direct reports. They are responsible for the day to day management of IGD and carrying out the activities agreed with the Trustees of the Charity and Statutory Directors of the Trading Company.
