Lady Barbara Judge CBE
In September 2020, Lady Judge, who held the role of Management
Board Chair from April 2017, passed away after a battle with
pancreatic cancer. Lady Judge, an ardent advocate for women’s
rights, spent her professional career in the law, banking, regulation
and nuclear industries, and SNOMED International benefited
enormously from her business and governance acumen.
Appointed the youngest commissioner at the US Securities and
Exchange Commission, the first female director at News International,
the first woman to be appointed an executive director of a British
merchant bank, the first woman on the Board of Overseers of the
Wharton School of Management, and the first woman to chair the
UK’s Institute of Directors, Lady Judge broke barriers in these sectors
and encouraged other women to strive for similar achievements.
